It's your decision -not their's. Only you can decide when the hassle is life-impairing and you're ready for a procedure or solution. Are you working with an electrophysiologist (a cardiologist that specializes in heart rhythms)? If not, that might help. As far as exercise and workload, that's something to discuss with the doctor because we are each unique and what works for some doesn't work for others. Good luck. Mellanie Peter,
