Jackie, Many thanks for your kind, lovely, and informative note. I appreciate it very much and will look into the information. To the rest of you: I don't feel obligated to share more details about my medical condition with people who've communicated with me in the manner that you have. There is not a "right" or "wrong" here, in terms of me simply not bby grace123 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Mike, Good grief. Again, how about perhaps actually asking a question about my experience instead of more second-guessing and judging? With all respect, you might learn something, too. Nice that you have a Ph.D, however, I'm failing to see how that has anything to do with the conversation. Are you trying to position yourself as somehow smarter than poor stupid me?

I 've had a Reveal Linq implanted monitor for almost 4 years, though the battery's probably dead by now. That's been helpful, though I wasn't able to get the data very often cause my cardiologist's office made it rather challenging. But then I got a Kardia Mobile device over a year ago and that's been really helpful. The overlap with the 2 helped me see how accurateby grace123 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I'm happy to have found this site and forum. I've already been helped greatly by the info on Vagal AFib. I was first diagnosed in July 2013, had a cardioversion that lasted all of 2 weeks that August, then had my first ablation in Dec. 2013. I had no episodes until April 2017. I had 3 unexpectedly difficult encounters with 3 people in my life at the time and the stress of it triggereby grace123 - AFIBBERS FORUM
