Asymptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: How do you monitor?

The thing is, there is less liability when they DO prescribe. If a doc does not prescribe blood thinners and I have a stroke, they are liable. But if they follow the protocol and prescribe blood thinners, even if I don't need them (the protocol does not take into account frequency of afib, which for me is less than once a year) there is not liability for side effects. At least, that is the way I see it. I feel that the cardiologist who told me not to worry and go home, was quite brave.

Just read your comment. Why does my HR never go above 80 and right back down again? I thought a high HR went with afib. Why do I not have some signs or symptoms? I take my BP regularly during the day but it is more often low than high. Need Kardia mobile? I take both aspirin and Eliquis but was never given a choice. What does flecainide do, seems this appears alot in comments? I am still learning from everyone's comments and wonder why in my reading that no one stays in the hospital after going to ER for very long. I guess I was the lucky one to stay for almost 3 months.
Thanks to everyone who is sharing. It helps to make you not feel alone in this world. KLH
