Sir
All I can add to the other comments is the way I was and the way I am now .
round about 5 years ago on my 65th birthday I was not well , ie shortage of breath , even with the window open and me hanging out of it .
the doctors were treating me for a chest infection and asthma ( which I never had before )
anyway it was hospital for me , and after one day in there and medication I started to become better , then it was the cardioversion . they knock you out and when you come round it is all over and you immediately feel better .
don't be worried about anything as they know what they are doing and they explain everything to you before hand , if you are not sure ask as many questions as you wat to your medical team .
I am now in my 5th year of having this procedure done and feel great as I know you will .
be well .
