Ablation sounds like it's not a bad route. Your A-Fib sounds like it's significant enough to justify doing it. I was just searching around other websites and found a lot of discussion of 2 triggers--alcohol consumption and a deficiency in potassium and magnesium. If you're willing to share, let me know other facts about your life and your symptoms.

@usedtobecarefree . I have been diagnosed with AFib and can't figure what it's all about. I am 79, have always had low or normal blood pressure yet the cardiologist has prescribed metrophol which I see lowers blood pressure. I fainted recently and wonder if that was caused by a low blood pressure or AFib. I am taking a blood thinner but find this AFIb totally confusing. Most times I feel great and exercise a lot. Only problem is the occasional dizzy feeling.
