Symptom narrative

Awoke to dizziness at ~3:30am. Returned to sleep and arose to same feeling at ~7:30am. Took ECG with smart Watch at 7:59am and discovered I was in A-fib for the first time in my life. My pulse rate was erratic between 142 and 92 BPM. My BP was also generally low and unstable. My historic BP is !118-128/72-78 with a resting pulse rate of 68-78. I have and have never had any caridac, repsiratory or other infirmity and live a healthy lifestyle. I went to Hospital and was admitted for 3 days in cardiac observation. During that time a variety of drug therapies were used to force conversion. I was taken on day 3 to do a cardio-converion but converted on my own seconds after the removal of the Ultrasound tool inserted in my esophagus to check for clots in the atrial appendage and before the doctor pressed the button to shock me into can attempt at conversion. I was released with a regimen of blood thinner (Eloquis) 5mg 2xday, anti-arrhythmic (Propafenone HCL) 150mg, and blood pressure regulator (Metoprolol Tartrate) 25mg. I stopped the drug therapy after 2 weeks of non-recurrence and my personal health history. My heart rate, bp and pulse-ox were tracking normally and historically. I did experience a recurrence wand was subsequently hospitalized again on 02/10/2025 at the same hospital under the care of the same physician. I corrected once again using Amiodarone intravenously and was discharged on 02/12/2025 with only Amiodarone HCL 200mg (2xday) which was reduced by the physician 4weeks later to 200mg (1xday) and a referral to Dr, an electro-physiologist at facility for a planned Atrial Ablation. (*The referred physician has yet to respond with a schedule for the procedure.)
