Thanks for responding, scolio. I don't have high blood pressure. When I was first diagnosed with afib my episodes were infrequent. I only took meds (Eliquis, Atenelol, Propafenone) when I had an episode. Currently I take these meds daily, in low dosage, and my body tolerates this. Recently I have had episodes more often and with more apparent triggers as mentioned in my post. Now considering ablation but need to learn more. Seems that more than one ablation is needed to really make a difference.
