Would my gp be able to prescribe the pill in pocket for me ?

There is no "rule" for episode length. It is individual-specific.
Generally, if an episode is less than 3 days old, it can be cardioverted without a TEE (trans-esophageal echogram, aka "swallowing a telephone receiver"). Stroke risk is significant even after about 6 hours of AF, so depending on one's CHADS-Vasc score, anticoagulaton therapy may make sense. Again, this is individual-specific.

I asked the cardiologist about clot formation. He said that it can happen in two hours. Wonder if he is overcautious?

Hi all
I had an attack at Xmas lasting for 2 days , then it’s happened again Wednesday evening woke up this morning and it’s still there but now my heart beat is 80 bpm but quite
Irregular.
What’s the average length of attack ? And when do I go see my gp and see the ep dept ?
Is one episode every few months for a few days ok to live with without treatment?
Cheers Andy

I had all the tests a few years ago after my 1st episode. My heart was fine they said and called it lone af.
Mine allways follow after lots of alcohol. I’ve cut down a fair bit now.

I had about 8 pints the other week and no problems. Wednesday night 2 small wines and it kicked af off.
Can’t work it out.

It seems we're numerous struggling to find our unmistakable triggers.
My hypothesis is that when we're in a receptive state (= vulnerable), a lot of different things may trigger afib. When we're not, most of all we thought being possible triggers don't do anything.
Isn't afib still a mystery?

Very true.
What’s the best way to load up on potassium and magnesium?
I have 2 bananas a day as they are full of potassium

Bananas are full of carbohydrates too, so I don't know if it's that good.
I'm taking magnesium and potassium supplements myself, following advices I've read here. Too soon to talk about the effects...
