I think you were right in canceling your appointment as this is not how all EPs are and it looks like a pointer away from this doctor. Good on you for respecting your intuition.Quote

I guess this is the way all of these doctors are, they want to be the sole doc. I can understand that they think that there could be some conflict, but this is my body and I want the best advise.

I could go to the ER near me to get cardioverted but as my heart rate is under 100 they probably will have me sit there waiting a long time or maybe they won't do it either.

They are only nasty if you are one of those who react to them negatively--which you discover very quickly! I have taken flecainide for a few years and don't notice anything from it other than staying in NSR--but then I am on a relatively low dose.Quote

Tikosyn and Flecainide both sound like nasty drugs.

There are a lot of people that take a blood thinner and live with their AF, I could do that as my AF is not very bad, I hardly feel it, I just get a little more tried, but I could pace myself. If I could get Cardioverted and then get off the drug, I wouldn't hesitate but to think I have to be on a drug like tikosyn forever is not something I would look forward to.
