I have same irregular heart rythm. Afib.
I wont get Ablation since it doesn't last. I had Cardioversion done only lasted a few month. Not worth it to me to repeatedly do the procedure. Infact, i think its nuts. My Cardiologist both of them said just live with it. I have Afib.23 out of 24 hours a day. Since, now I have low blood pressure now and the heart rhythm is not so noticeable to me. What helped me was GLP1 Foundayo pill. It lowered my high blood pressure in 2 months completely. And stopped BP drugs.I only take .8 mg once a day of Foundayo. Bonus, I lost 10 to 15 lbs. Which was good enough for me.

@9yellowbox - Thanks for your post. I have a couple of questions. What is your age? Have you ever had an ablation? Having A-fib almost the entire day would make me useless--unable to do anything. It just takes all my energy away. Mainly, I'm in arrhythmia and tachycardia daily. It sounds like the weight loss could be your answer. I'm 5'7" and only weigh 114. My weight issue is completely different from yours. Best of luck as you navigate your health.
