!2 hours after the flu jab I went back into fibrillation

[jrcorfield]

I have had 2 ablations in the last 2 years the last 11 months ago.I have had no recurrence since until I had the flu jab.
I woke up next morning with a heart rate was 120 my normal rate of approx 50.
I was so ill for 5 days feeling as though I had the flu I eventually went to the doctors and was told  after an ECG I was in full fib mode again.
My heart flipped back to around 50 after 2 weeks but the correlation between the time of the jab and the fib event is too strong to ignore.
I will never have another flu jab the risk for me is too great it seems I am too worried to have another.
Am I right or wrong?

Influenza is a contributor to A-fib in some.  My daughter had a bad case of pneumonia just before the US Thanksgiving and coincidental startwdnup with A-fib.  Now she's on 200mg of Flecainide, along with Cardizem, and Atenolol.  Consider the possibility that the vaccine isn't causing the A-fib, but the resulting immune response is triggering something.  I know, same difference.  But I wouldn't necessarily place the blame directly on something IN the vaccine.
