Leesburg, FL

Was just cardioverted on Monday for AFib. By Tuesday pm back in AFib. Cardioversion has worked in past. Don’t know what’s next. Do I just have to live with it? They say I can’t have ablation due to the condition of my back. I have been on Amiodarone and Eliquis for a year. Not on metropolol because when I am in SR I have a very low heart rates. Any comments please. ❤️❤️
