| Personal comments | Went to hospital each episode, they tried to convert to NSR with drugs, no luck. Cardioversion then done after about 5 hours, usually NSR although the last time took two tries to get NSR to stick. That was 4 months ago. Before that it was about 12 months between episodes.
Echo showed nothing (normal), a couple of stress tests (normal) & Holter moniter showed normal except for rare PVC's |
