Thanks much, read it all, including your addendum. Bad day for me, erratic a few times when nervous, of course just before visiting the cardiologist. Early January they'll do the electro conversion attempt. Had slight pain, not really pain, but an odd feeling, with my spasming heart, but I told the cardiologist, he just did an ekg when my heart was fluttering again (atrium) and didn't seem concerned.

It could be that your cardiologist's not seeming concerned about your last EKG might be a good thing. Cardiologists have read a lot of EKGs and they know when to be concerned and when something is less than serious.

I know what I'm going to say is easier said than done but: try to relax. Find some way to occupy yourself and keep your mind and hands busy. Do you have any activities that you enjoy, like music, knitting, crafts, art, etc.? If so, try to focus on that. January will be here soon enough and the conversion attempt will happen and perhaps you will begin to find relief.

What can you do today to give yourself a break from your worry?
