I have weekly flutter and AFIB for about 24-30 hours continually, every 4-10 days. Does anyone know of a reason for such a cycle? I had it much more frequently and everything else is otherwise benign. I am 65 so I just live with it, since the risk of bleeding or other complications from pills or procedures are about the same with not even 100% chance of fix. I also had GERD, so started taking a proton pump inhibitor and elevated the head of my bed, eventually to 9" above the feet--the whole bed is on an incline. I strongly suggest both of these if you have any GERD symptoms also (note I am NOT a medical practitioner and you should discuss all treatments with one). The GERD went away, and all of a sudden (!) my resting heart rate went from 85-90 to 60-65, and most of my flutter/AFIB went away. Fantastic! However, I still have this strange cyclic activity that my cardiologist knows nothing about. I am a scientist so tried to correlate it with a number of things, and couldn't find clear associations, although I must keep hydrated and that helps. Also, of course, no spicy foods. Anyone know anything about this? Please send to my email rapaul ..at.. dal.ca with subject header heart. Thanks.
