I had four afib attacks in 3 months that took me to the emergency room. Before that, I had a cardio inversion from an afib attack in 2017 that lasted 3 days. I stopped taking any medication 6 weeks after the attack in 2017. I have low BP so traditional medication was crashing me. I did have an ablation on September 30th and have had 3 more afib attacks about 2 months apart that resolved after about 20 minutes after I took an additional 50 mg of flecainide. ( I currently take eliquis and 50 mgs 2xs a Day.) I guess you would say it’s “under control” but I think it should be better. I’m going to go ahead and get the meditronic linq inserted to monitor what might be going on even though I wore a heart monitor for a month and had no attacks. I had just about convinced myself to go off meds when it happened again. A glass of red wine three nights in a row with dark chocolate and a cappuccino in the afternoon? I don’t know.. Was the ablation necessary? Probably,. I can’t second guess myself. In addition I had a pretty stressful summer that possibly triggered the four attacks. I love a good red wine, but it’s not for me to love anymore.🙃 Also prayer has considerably lowered my anxiety and stress level. My best medicine.

I too have low heart rate always told I have an athletic heart very heavy into working out etc.
I always say A-Fib is evil and insidious you never know when its going to pop.
I wrote a post in March or April titled no rhyme or reason, It pretty much explains my frustrations about the unpredictability.Perhaps you might be able to go back and read it.
Good luck to you!!
