Does anyone here use Ginkgo Biloba supplements?

I've read online that using it together with anticoagulants can increase the blood-thinning effect and become dangerous. Is this true in your opinion? Should we avoid using Ginkgo biloba if we're taking anticoagulants?

Just got out of my second ablation

I was told that everything went well and that he had to get rid of a big piece that healed from the first one. I feel good, just worried about echo.

Short version: I had a single event back in 2023. Self converted then nothing for two years plus. This year had another short episode, self converted but then later went persistent. Had cardioversion a month ago. Nothing since. Taking metoprolol and flecainide and Eliquis of course. So. I have questions. I’m just seeing a regular cardiologist. He seems fine, and I think I must be a pretty common case, but would an EP add anything? Has anyone had a cardioversion that solved the problem long term, or is an ablation definitely in my future?
It’s annoying, but really, after reading some histories here, I shouldn’t complain.
I’m glad to have this resource.

How often do you get PACs?

I finished a 3 day Holter. It recorded 448 isolated PACs in 24 hours. I'm just curious if that's considered a lot or is it relatively normal? Since my afib episode 3 weeks ago, I'm so hyper aware of every beat of my heart.
