Personal comments	a-f for me triggers very high 230-260 hbpm and have also triggered multiple 15 to 30 sec pauses in the past. with my meds i have only had one a-f,tackacardia attack in the past 2 years, am lucky tikosyn works for me, as life was really, very difficult and anxiety driven in the past never knowing when the next attack would occur.
