Maybe you have an organic reason for afib. BUT…what if that one square of chocolate a day is causing the daily afib? Would it be worth giving up known food triggers for a couple weeks to see if it makes any difference? How often do you eat cheese or other foods with tyramine? I think it was easier for me to make a connection between specific foods and afib because my diet is do limited due to several other health issues. I also can feel my afib the minute it starts so I document everything I’ve eaten that day and the day before. Then I use my pulse oximeter to look at the sine wave for the chaotic pattern and check the heart rate that doubles. Like someone else mentioned, my afib almost always starts in the evening in the recliner or the minute I lie down in bed at night. I can tie it back to something I ate in the past few hours.

Thanks a lot for the information. My A-fib began a year or so after I had open heart surgery, which is a known side effect that unfortunately happens too often. Sounds as if the food connection is really helpful for you. I will definitely give it some thought!
