Does anyone with AFIB NOT take blood thinners?

I had an ablation procedure years ago for intermittent AFib. It worked but I notice that if I eat too much salt, I will have a short episode (2-3 hours). I do not take blood thinners. I take a low mg. aspirin once a day but if Afib hits me, I take a full dose of regular strength aspirin right away (2 tabs). My doctor has never recommended blood thinners but is insistent upon the one low mg. aspirin a day. I take it with the evening meal. I take no medicines at all for Afib.

My docs tell me that aspirin is no longer recommended, for either the daily low dose or the larger dose for afib.
