Adrenergic Fibrillation -More common any particular time of day?

For the vagal fibbers, the most common time to get an attack is said to be at night.

I'm wondering if there is a "time of day" common occurance for Adrenergic fibbers? My fib attacks almost always show up between 4 - 8pm. It could be a hormonal issue, or something else, who knows. But was wondering if other adrenergic fibbers have found they have a common attack time period.

Nancy - I was a mixed afibber… but tended to be mostly vagal…however on occasion, I’d have a late afternoon event. I learned eventually that it related to two things… hypoglycemia from running out of fuel during a grueling work schedule…and not enough sustaining food at lunch to carry through to the evening meal at 6 – 7. I worked by appointments and often there was no time to grab a snack. The race against the clock hour after hour was another contributor to stress. Eventually, this resolved by meal and snack management and retiring much earlier than intended. This did not, however, prevent the events during sleep…only the optimizing of electrolytes (Essential Trio) did that and I used at least 3,000 mg taurine daily.... and watching the potassium-to-sodium ratio.

If you aren't supplementing with taurine, you might give it consideration. Taurine is useful for those in sympathetic tone.

See the post on Taurine that I just added...review of past info.

I am mixed, but mainly adrenergic. Had LAF for 9 months before ablation. No special time of day - I would just go into AF every time I exerted myself or had an animated conversation, or got stressed.

No afib since ablation 9 wks ago.
