I just found out a good friend of mine passed away in his sleep last night. He was in pretty good health, nothing major except untreated apnea. I had tried to get him to go for a sleep study.....you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink....

@Dreamstalker -- that is a really frightening story! especially since I'm dealing with AFIB also (and taking those poisonous drugs).

Yes, the drugs do kill you slowly but quite likely also quicker than the Afib.

Look into finding an electrophysiologist with lots of experience in ablation proceedures. There is risk having the procedure. I thought I had one of the best in the world or so he is claimed and I still got complications from the procedure. But I do seem to be cured. The only way to any cure is to first find the cause ... that is key to any healthcare approach.

For Afib, it has to do with aging .... when heart muscle cells decide they want to grow in among your vascular cells. Bad idea and they must be punished ... with ablation.

The insurers will resist but you must be strong and fight harder. And with a good ablationist at your side, you can force your will upon them.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

My son-in law had this done almost 2 years ago. It worked great for him. He is very active and healthy.
