AFib - Question about blood thinners

Have you considered an ablation? My husband had two and each one worked for several years. My sister had one a few months ago because she didn’t want blood thinners and, like you, hers wasn’t frequent. So far she’s fine. I hope you’re right, but when the occasional AFib increased with me it was sudden. Instead of a prolonged episode I’d have many short one, so I didn’t always realize it had happened. So, please take care.

The cardiologist at the hospital told me to go home and forget it happened. However the next episode lasted 7 hours. If episodes get longer or more frequent, I would consider ablation yes. It has not come up at all with any of 3 cardiologists since my episodes self-resolve.
