hi, yes go back to your doctor, drink water, less salt. I ended up with a pacemaker.

Really sorry to hear that, I also have paroxysmal AF and know how awful it can make you feel. I have found the book 'The AFIB Cure' by cardiologists John Day and Jared Bunch helpful for understanding underlying causes and possible triggers of episodes, some lifestyle factors that may help reduce frequency of attacks and clear explanations of treatment options. Would suggest go back to your GP for cardiology referral if that's not already happened via the hospital to ensure your treatment is optimised.

my normal dosage was 2.5mg of bisop and 100mg flec twice daily ,but due to these resent episodes ive been all over the place with different drs telling me different things and trying to get a cardio appoinent is like trying to paint sand .
