I'm ok. Sorry to upset. I was looking for answers. If the pain returns I'll get help. I see the dr on Mon and will get more of my questions answered. I'm not sure that the Cardio-version is right for me. I used to drive mental health clients to appointments for shock therapy for bipolar and depression. Sounds similar. I will also start checking my mail everyday. Thank you for being concerned. Jan

Thank You for your response. Every one is a relief. I'm so glad that I found this thread for the Mayo Clinic. <br> <br><br>
Cardioversion is a great first step ! It is easy and could just work !Had one last week and am quite pleased .
Was this your first Cardioversion?<br> <br><br>
Yes this was my first Cardioversion -
Unfortunately today I am back in AFIB after 9 days . Very disappointed .
Anyone have similar story ? Did you try again ? Help!
I'm so sorry to hear that the cardioversion wasn't a longer term solution for you @2880. I'm tagging @grandmajan @predictable @murryone @twptrustrek and @martishka on this message so that they can share their experiences with you - whether it worked or if they would try again.
Should you wish to get a second opinion, please call Mayo Clinic http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Hello Jan, <br>I am happy to hear that you are ok. I just wanted to comment on your thoughts about electrical cardioversion. It is nothing like shock therapy for mental health patients. <br><br>It is a procedure in which an electric current is used to reset the heart's rhythm back to its regular pattern. Its low voltage and you are given meds so that there is no pain or <br>stress. My sister had it done a few months ago and her heart went right back into a sinus (regular) rhythm. <br>Its good that you are seeing your doctor on Monday. <br>All the best, <br>Martishka <br>
