Thomas,

Welcome to the A-Fibbers group. I have been in A-Fib for three years now. After two failed attempts at cardioversion where they did succeed in separating some of my ribs from my sternum, yea really nice, my doctor and I figured the heck with it and I just use blood thinners and beta blockers and keep on trucking. Do give the cardioversion a try for sure, my sister-in-law had it done and her heart kicked back in like it was supposed to. You just never know. A fishing buddy of mine has been in A-Fib for around 18 years now. You get used to it. I don't climb hills nor take stairs, at least not fast. Just keep on fishing and enjoying life.
