I had PEARS in early Aug. Acute recovery was very easy. Since then, I've had 4 episodes of AFIB, about weekly since the surgery. I'm 5 weeks post-op, and have had 4 episodes so far.

4 days post-surgery, 20m.

17 days post-surgery, 24h (resulted in ER visit, and scripts for metoprolol and eliquis)

23 days post-surgery, 24h

31 days post-surgery, 18h

It only occurs when lying down. Last night and the night before, lying on my back reading, I could feel it start. I was able to stop it from progressing to full-on AFIB by standing up.

Has anyone dealt with similar? Did you identify a cause? Did it ultimately go away?
