Hope to some day be medication free for a-fib/flutter...

Personal commentsSurprised post ablation that I experienced many bad episodes of a-fib/flutter.

Concerned about chronic cough post albation- I have been coughing for 5 1/2 weeks...

Doctor is going to try new Multaq. Does not want me to stay on Propanpanone long term.
