I'm just ****ed my AME told me to be class three medical and stick to local flights.

My AME will redo the EKG if there is anything non-perfect in the readout like noise from air conditioner, body movement, etc. Not sure what he’s do for Afib but suspect he’d be way more proactive than your AME. Find another AME and don’t look back. And make sure your friends know how this guy handles things.
