← Return to After 8 months heart is still in A-Fib. Cardiologist gave me 3 options

Hi, I am new to this forum. I have had 3 heat attacks and the last one was in 2016. A few days ago I got an afib episode that lasted just 30 seconds. My cardio office wants to do shock treatment but that was the only episode and I feel fine. I don’t think a person like me that does not have continued afib episodes should do shock.
A friend who is a retired nurse says I should do it because even though I feel good, the afib is still doing its thing. What do you think?

I think, given the info you provide, it is too soon to do anything but monitor you for more afib.

Apple watch excellent for afib. It will monitor your sleep and notify you.
