I am considering an ablation. My doctor recommended I have one. He spoke of Flecanide but I am currently on Metropolol and Eliquis and do not want to go on another med. I have Arthritis, several joint replacements, therefore, I cannot take anything with pain relievers such as aspirin, Aleve etc. while on blood thinner.
Have you experienced any episodes since June?

No, not since June (3months ago). But I have gone as long as 5 months in the past. I could not tolerate the side effects of metropolol.
In response another comment above, my Afib was after Moderna booster.
