? does anyone know if numerous auto-immune diseases trigger afib? i developed afib in past year. My cardiologist insists that there is nothing wrong with my heart but that my thyroid auto-immune disease is triggering afib. He has prescribed beta blockers prn from nothing to half of lowest dose (12.5/2) to 50-60 mg/day

@elisabeth007 did your cardiologist do all the necessary tests like an echocardiogram and a stress test? I, too, went to my doctors complaining of severe chest pain. I had all the tests which came back normal. The doctors said that my heart was fine, so the autoimmune condition I have was probably the culprit. You might try for an appointment with your rheumatologist to get their opinion.
Will you let me know what you learn?
