I am trying to figure out what triggers my episodes. I thought it was alcohol but this morning I work up and an episode had started befor I could eat or drink anything. Any ideas or has this happened to others. A first for me.episode was very mild.by Carolyn23 - AFIBBERS FORUM

Does anyone else get a strange sensation in their throat prior to and during an A-Fib episode? My throat feels like I’m having an allergic reaction to something. That’s when I know an episode is starting. Then I feel the fast heart beats. That sensation last until the episode is over. Usually an hour or two. Then I feel very weak & tired for a couple of hours.by Carolyn23 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Carey,, Thanks for the advice. I will call today to get checked. Hopefully it will be as simple as adjusting meds. Carolynby Carolyn23 - AFIBBERS FORUM

This is my first time on this sight and my first post. I am relatively healthy 80 year old woman and now this , I was first diagnosed with afib about 4 years ago. I had combined cold medication which seemed to kick it off. Afterward I had maybe 1 or 2 episodes. Recently, 2018, I have been getting them more frequently. Last month, August, I had 3 episodes that lasted about 2of hours. Than leavingby Carolyn23 - AFIBBERS FORUM
