Karin, your question is a little unclear but I suggest you wait until after you have been monitored and then speak to your ep/cardiologist/doctor about your options. Good luck.

Are you anti-coagulated? This is probably the only thing to be thinking of until you have seen your doctor after the tests.

Hi

I expect you know that asprin is not thought to be sufficient now (new NICE guidelines) so if your CHADsVASC score merits anti coagulation ( see AFA website and work out your score) then you need to act swiftly if you have had a definite diagnosis of AF

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused here.... If you have "been in AF for 15years, how can it start again?

I'm not in AF. I've had 2 short runs of it in 6 years and nothing else. Not on anticlogs just small dose of bisoprolol every other day.

Take a look at the videos on YouTube by Dr Sanjay Gupta a consultant cardiologist from York Hospital. They are brilliant explaining all aspects of irregular heart problems. There is one called Understanding atrial fibulation. They put your mind at rest. Knowledge is power.
