Flecainide. It makes the episode a little milder, instead of 180 bpm it is 140,
Peace of mind is part of the equation, I always think is there an ER close by where I am going?

You might be "ideal for ablation", but remember: there's NO easy case. Sometimes, the EP may think so, but it's only when you've been ablated and afib free for a couple years that one may say it was easy.
Many people here would tell you to choose a highly experienced EP. If you go for an ablation, don't trust the guy next door, unless he's this kind of experienced EP.

In a nutshell imho, It is good to get multiple opinions from the people that do it. I wonder also- is there a post on here of "all the questions you should ask an EP?" I am sure there is.

Ken, congratulations on your successful ablation. How long ago?
I completely identify with the fear of travel and the progression of afib.
