| History of surgery | I had a cardiac ablation two months ago, and it helped, but now the frequency is increasing. Before the procedure, it happened almost every day. After the procedure, it slowed down to once or twice a week. Now it is starting to pick up again.
In the hospital, two days after the procedure, I had afib and they tried to cardiovert me, but it didn't work! The afib went away on its own several hours later. |

| Future plans | I plan to pursue alternative therapies for now. |
