Hello R1100S, Nothing rubbish about your post, sounds like you've acted quickly and caught it early, good luck with appointments. I've only started on this forum recently but had AF for donkeys years, learned more from here than anywhere else, full-stop, end of.

I didn't even know there was an AFA, doh!!!!

Sorry your AF has returned, but if a cardioversion helped last time, then lets hope it will again. Wishing you well again. Jean

Good you noticed it cardioversions are a pain but quick and easy might need a change of meds we are all so different.

Hi - sorry to hear your story, as mine is very similar. I had a cardioversion in 2009, and have been on Amiodarone for about 3 years. I came off it in March and, guess what, the AF has returned! I am now on a waiting list for a catheter ablation, but first have the joys of going back onto warfarin to look forward to.

My electrophysiologist recommended this site, so I'm looking forward to picking up some knowledge and support from the rest of the community.
