About Me: Male, 53, Chicago, IL, member since Jan 2008
Husband of a a wonderful woman, and father of one beautiful girl. I have Afib with numerous PAC's. My afib has happened 3 times since 2005. Last "episode" was January of this year 2010. So far my pattern seems to be every 2 years or so.

[More] had an ablation done in Feb of 08 for SVT and they found atrial flutter. Ablated for that. However, due to the length of time I was on the table I acquired pulmonary embolisms. Luckily they were minimal and I was on blood thinners for 6 months with no long term effects. Currently on a beta blocker and a regimen aspirin. I'm 6 ft and 286 pounds. Need to start exercising but therein lies the vicious circle with this arrhythmia.
Trying to figure out how to cope with the reality...whatever that is.
