My story, My cardiologist referred me to a heart specialist last visit... saw this specialist to discuss what can be done about my AFIB... after discussing things he feels I've been in afib too long (years without treatment other than meds) for an ablation or a shock treatment to have success. Felt just keeping me treated with meds would be better for me. Since I never really know when I'm in afib which it's said every time they put the wires on me they see I'm in afib I tend to agree just stay on the meds becasue I don't feel a thing.

My next visit to my cardiologist after the specialist , My Doc says he doesn't feel not doing anything but meds is the answer and I should at least do the shock treatment and see if they can get my heart back into rhythm. Said a another heart attack or a first stroke is gambling with my life. I tend to agree. Cardio Doc said come back in three months ..So in like a couple of months I'm going to line up a shock treatment , the Doc said takes a bout three minutes and I'm done.
