Future plans	I am seeing an electrophysiologist at William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan. I am considering pulmonary vein ablation in the future. ...Maybe even ultrasound ablation.
Personal comments	I carry a "pocket cocktail" of Inderal, 20 mg and Rythmol 600 mg. to take orally when episodes of A fib occur. Episodes convert in 2 - 3 hours. I definitely know when I am in A Fib. Thr pocket cocktail didn't work! I had a pumonary vein abaltion performed in November, 2007, and it looks like I am cured! One year later and I am Afib free!!!! No meds except for ASA.
