Does anyone know if fasting for maybe 24 hours or 3 days for a person with BMI of 20 or 21 would be likely to cause blood sugar to go low enough to trigger Afib? I'd really like to fast for a day, just to give the digestive system a rest, but afraid of triggering an episode.

A search on the topic indicates it is mostly associated with insulin dependent diabetes, with a severe hypoglycemia. I could hypothesize that an adrenergic counter regulatory response to a hypoglycemia could be an adrenergic trigger for an afibber sensitive to them.Quote

I've never heard of low blood sugar triggering afib. Has that happened to you?
