Afib and the weather

My episodes suddenly increased this last week or two..they had actually been going iin the other direction. Just wondered if anyone else had seen an uptick in episodes with the crazy weather the east and Midwest has been experiencing.

I always got more episodes in the hot summer.

That was my experience too Anti-AFIB during my AFIB haydays prior to my index ablation,,, late spring through August in Hawaii in particular, but even those first couple of years in Amsterdam, prior to the ablation, where the heat was rarely an issue, the same time frame was a common flare up period... it definitely seemed seasonally cyclical for me as well.

Lynn,

The cold weather used to really set me off pre-ablation. Just walking in the cold triggered episodes. I guess we are all different. Cold drinks sometimes did it too. Hope you are feeling better.
