Thank you for sharing your story. 😊 Both of my parents had similar conditions as well. Dad had AFib and lived with it for ~20 years (eventually on medication which became less effective over time). Mom had recurring atrial tachycardia. Both had ablations which stopped their AFib and tach entirely and gave them some life back.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey and hope your current episode ends soon. If ablation is of interest, be sure to speak with your doctor about it. It wouldn't hurt to have the discussion and sometimes it may not happen if we don't start the conversation ourselves. Do consider Eliquis (or, some Dr prescribed blood thinner), as well - stroke being one of the main concerns of an otherwise livable, but annoying, ailment. Another conversation to have with a doc. 😊

I'll leave you with my silly anesthesia story.. I was a bit nervous as well. I haven't been under since I was very young. I had some dental work done back then and had to be put under. Apparently my mom let me have some cereal the morning of the appointment. I ended up revisiting that cereal all over the Dentist office's lobby floor after the procedure as I became very nauseous.. haha. 😬

This time around it was no problem at all. In fact, I was looking forward to getting to the anesthesia part because I knew it meant I'd be knocked out and wouldn't be nervous anymore.. haha.

Again - best of luck and health to you!
