Yes mate in October last year. I’m taking a beta blocker daily and waiting for an echo scan before I can discuss options like ablation with my Dr.

Good luck mate, early days for me yet, hoping it will stay in SR now!

I’ve been out of SR for a good while now been tempted to go to A&E at points to get a cardio version.

How did you find out you had it? My apple watch detected mine I have very mild symptoms.

I think you should ring your cardiologist asap buddy?

I had a night on the pop and the next day did some intensive exercise then felt an odd heartbeat in my chest, slept on it and the next day tried climbing some stairs and was unusually out of breath. Went to the hospital and the rest is history, now purchased a smartwatch with an ECG, better than just using my finger!

Yes. Been on pills for 5 years or so now. Tried ablation. Could not do it. So it’s pills forever. Pills work well. No recurrence. Felt really tired for the first month or so then back to normal

No worries, hopefully there might be some useful advice there.

He’s aware mate mine seems to be semi permanent afib rather than coming and going.
