Since I had my ICD replaced a year ago, I've been in afib non stop, it's asymptomatic, but get an episode with symptoms occasionally.
At my age of 83, I don't want to have ablation or convertion procedures.
Is there any other way it can be converted to normal sinus rhythm.
I appreciate any feedback.
I have Afib but it's not continues . Problem is I can not always tell when I am in Afib because it is very similar to heartburn which I get often

My mom has a-fib and is 87. She has home health and as long as she takes her meds., all of them, she does well. I hope your a-fib improves. Do you walk for exercise?
Permanent atrial fibrillation (AFib) is diagnosed when the condition persists continuously and is not expected to return to normal sinus rhythm without intervention.
