Great and helpful information.
I gained a lot of weight when I came down with COVID back in June. It evolved into serious sinus infection and then into serous bronchial infection. I was down about 3 months and gained 20 lbs.
You mentioned the visceral fat. I noticed that pressure but had no idea about the impact on my body until you mentioned it and then I did notice I did have pressure from it.
I was told about teh Valsalva and also my EP did asked me to take 400 mg of magnesium which has helped. But I think I just need to find a way to get visceral fat off as I asked my EP if weight gain can affect AFIB and VFIB. Answer Yes.
I take 600mg magnesium and 850-1250mg potassium via low sodium V-8 daily. Never eat after 6pm and lie on my right side. I take Gas X to help avoid an episode triggered by GI gas. Lifting in front of me is another trigger.
We are all different. Last time I had an episode I experimented with the Vasalva maneuver, walking around, cold water and trying to relax. One time I aborted an episode by sitting up straight.
Hope you can figure out triggers and ways to deal with them. I am still working on it!
