exboater,

I am unsure whaat is meant in your post about just woke up.

I'm glad you found one of the things that trigger your Afibs. Those are difficult to deal with. I have Brady and refused a pacemaker due to it being a foreign object in my body. I get my HR up by moving around. I also found that even though I get a drop in my HR at night and it was very bothersome to the point of waking me and causing restless sleep when I changed my BP med to splitting the dose I sleep better and my HR is not so very low at night.

Doc finally agrees I don't really need the pacemaker.
