If A-fib is new to you and it is paroxysmal, it is in the "small wastebasket" category of a "fire" as represented by the cardiologists who give lectures about A-fib on YouTube. Go there and listen to learn more. While ablation is not a cure, the sooner you isolate the erratic cells that trigger the A-fib, the better off you are and the less likely it is to become a "room" fire or a chronic condition (forest fire). Ask your cardiologist for an expert EP (electrophysiologist)--not just anyone but an experienced, highly respected EP--and get yourself an appointment to discuss your options. I had to wait almost a year to get smart and I had an ablation (pulse field) in November of last year. Not one episode since then! Made all the lifestyle changes suggested before the ablation--no alcohol, no heavy meals, limited caffeine, lost weight, exercise every day, get good sleep if possible. You don't have to live in fear; watch some of the informational videos and make a decision for yourself. Some people say they can "live with" an occasional episode, but I hated it. I am off all the meds I was taking before to "control" it! Only take a small dose of Amlodipine now for blood pressure management. Get a second opinion and take charge of your condition and your treatment! Good luck.
