A-fib
I was admitted through the ER wit A-Fib tachycardia. (157bpm) I was put on Cardizem. The doctor wanted to do a TEE, so he could cardiovert me. I was scared so I decined. After five days I was sent home still in A-fib. Ten days later I was put on Cozaar , Coumadin and Digoxin. That night my heart self-converted.
Is it common for A-fib to self-convert after being in constant A-fib tachycardia for 15 days?
What are the odds of me going back into A-fib? This was my first time with A-fib. And I have been in sinus rhythm for 3 1/2 months, with a normal heart rate. I am F 55 not overweight, non smoker.
Moderate aortic regurgitation, mild mitral regurgitation, mildly dilated left atrium. EF 50 %, Aorta root 3.4cm
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.
Also the right atrium is mildly dilated.
And will I be able to come off of the coumadin? How do the doctors determine if a person in this situation can stop te coumadin. Thank you.
