You are more likely to get help via a US-based web site. There are a few US posters here, but not many.

Good afternoon! As we are a UK based group I think your chances of an answer are slim. Could you ask the AHA (American Heart Association)?

The initial treatment of AF is an anticoagulant to reduce the risk of stroke and a beta blocker to reduce the frequency of epudoded. I see you have a pacemaker so assume you were having bradycardia (low heart rate).

Some people find that diet can have a significant effect. I know people who have reduced episodes to virtually zero by eliminating caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and spicy food. You should also only take supplements with the agreement of your doctor. St John's Wort and Ginseng are particularly bad. If diabetic you should try to keep your BG in range. Hypoglycaemia can trigger an attack!

Good luck!

Naming a doctor seems to be against the guidelines for this site.

We are asked not to ‘Post real names of the doctors or nurses treating you, or specific hospital teams’.

You can delete your own posts, if you choose to.
