No sweat. The procedure times the shock so that the “clock” takes over again. They will probably give you a relaxing dose of a sedative, not knock you out. You will feel so much better with things in sync, Afib causes a 20% reduction in blood flow, so you will be getting that back. Read Yirgach below for a further therapy in electro cardio version does not work.

Actually, the Doc says I will be put totally under and they will feed something down my throat (wind pipe, esophagus, not sure which) and then they zap me.

Breathing tube probably.

It is always the MDs call, I have seen it done with conscious sedation.
