History of surgeryNone
Future plansWait and see, no doubt I will get another episode and need a DC cardioversion
Personal commentsIt is very hard to live with the spectre of an episode happening again and then needing to be cardioverted. I am afraid to travel etc. I do not understand what triggers it- or why I always need to be cardioverted. The good thing is I do not really have any symptoms.
