My Story

Hello Everyone,
This is my first journal entry.  I got this website from a friend I work out with a our gym, he has afib as well.  I was diagnosed about 4 months ago after about 2 years of trying to figure out what was happening to me.
I would be really interested to find out if anyone has the same kind of symptons as me. My afib seems to have everything to do with digestion.  I usually almost always go into afib after I eat.  If I eat before I exercise I will go into afib after I finish exercising.  If I eat late at night I will most likely have heart palpatations in the night.. I have to be so careful when and what I eat.  It took doctors 2 years to figure out my afib.  I am on a drug called verapamil.  Does anyone have problems with digestion and afib.  Also alcohol is a no no for me.
 
Looking forward to meeting some friends here so I don't feel so all alone.
 
Karen
