I have had paroxysmal afib for ~15 years and I've recently developed this curiosity and was wondering if anyone else experiences anything similar:
My afib varies from month-to-month / year-to-year, but I probably have on average 20 or 30 afib episodes a year, almost always lasting 3-4 hours. I always convert on my own. I take flecainide+metoprolol daily. Most of the episodes are usually during a "bad few weeks" during the year. The time of year varies, but I might have afib every day or every other day during this time.
One thing I've started to become aware of recently is that it "seems like" I'm am basically "immune" to afib / pvcs / pacs for nearly 24 hours after an afib attack. It's like the afib episode itself has changed something body-chemistry wise. Or maybe "something" has been flushed out during the afib attack. About a day later, I become susceptible to afib / pvcs again.
Has anyone noticed anything similar or have any information about his possibility?

It was all put down to ME being stressed. I almost began to believe them, especially when my cardiologist at the time told me to "relax, go home and have a wine or two and hop into bed"..
