They put a halter monitor on me and it showed me in constant afib with bpm's from 50 to over 200. They put me on verapamil. I've been on it for a month now and I've been using a Kardia device several times a day to monitor. It always shows me in afib but my bpm's are usually below 100.

Hi.
I've read the main goal of ablation is to eliminate symptoms and improve QoL. The secondary goal is to acheive NSR and decrease the future risk of stroke, heart failure, etc. I'm 68 and drifting toward persistent afib with no symptoms and HR in 70s and 80s. I'm thinking about ablations to decrease risk of future stroke, heart failure, etc. But I'm afraid of ablations causing symptoms and not eliminating the afib.
Does anyone know if most asymptomatic fibbers become symptomatic eventually?
