I believe I have vagal AFib.....always came on at night...woke me up about the same time(1200) after going to sleep....my cure had been cardio version...pill in the pocket stopped working....but my last cardio zap was horrid....so after reading comments/ suggestions on this discussion group...I stopped my glass of wine ...started eating my evening meal @4 PM...no food after 5....started magnesium.. and have not had an incident since. I am 77 so just my husband and I at home and he does not mind the new eating regime....I like only having two meals a day....really enjoy breakfast....I recognize we are all different...but I think it was @gloaming on this page who gave that advice and it is working for me....

@wildacres100 that is what I have been doing. Early dinner, no large meals, magnesium, keeping stress down as much as possible. Also maybe add some low sodium V-8 for potassium. Best to have at different times of day but I have it in the morning and magnesium (600mg) in the evening.
"The Afib Cure" by Day and another cariologist is a good resource. John Day MD has a website too. Knock on wood I am still having one episode per year or even every two years, and still working on identifying triggers. I have spinal fractures and lifting is another trigger I have identified. Also GI gas (belching helps) so I use simethicone at times (Gas-X).
Different for each of us! I know this can progress and am not over confident. I have been doing all this for 10 years and know that eventually it may not be enough but for now....
