70 year old with 1-2% A Fib, rare V Tach, HR slow and longest A Fib was 5 days and related to thyroid problem, once thyroid med and thyroid surgery stablized the A Fib longest was reduced to a few hours at a time. No waking up at night or discomfort. Dose of Eliquis for a Chad of 2 and low dose Atenolol 25 mg bid. Ablation worries me. Anyone have an experience where they would have stuck with meds rather than go thru with the ablation.
