I had it when I was in my mid thirties. It just came on and it was noticable. I could literally feel my heart beat out of rhythm through my whole body. I also got really dizzy.
I went to the Cardio unit at foothills and they ran the ultrasounds and blood tests and everything and they decided to attempt rate control and put me on Beta Blockers. Which almost killed me because it triggered a asthma attack that end up having the humiliation of basically collapsing in the middle of a meeting at work and being rushed the foothills. They changed my treatment to calcium channel blockers. While the problem didn't go away its considered managed. I was on the calcium channel blockers for a few months
The doctor did talk about the last resort surgical option and I basically wanted to avoid the whole catheter up the groin thing that the doctor was talking about.
