Afib

At last, after 4 years my partner managed to get a trace of his palpitations on a heart monitor and he has been diagnosed with Afib. His consultant has told him to take a magnesium tablet daily to see if this helps. He has also mentioned an operation for Afib, has anyone had this operation and if so has it worked? And how long did it take you to recover? Once the palpitations start he has found that putting an ice pack on his neck shocks the vagus nerve and the palpitations stop after a few minutes, instead of a couple of hours. Any feedback would be most welcome.
