Have you thought about going the basic med route.

once someone applies for a Part 67 (Class 1-3) medical, you have to complete the process. one cannot withdraw the application -- FAA will just issue a denial, which makes you ineligible for basic med (Part 68). Ask me how I know

Just got my basic med signed off by my PCP.  Didn’t want to deal with special issuance again after a successful ablation for a- fib.

I wish I had just done basic med before starting this process.

How hard was it dealing with the special issuance for a fib, and where did you end up going when you did your precious special issuance?

Just had to send all the medical records and 90 days minimum being grounded.  https://www.aopa.org/go-fly/medical-resources/health-conditions/heart-and-circulatory-system/arrhythmia
