I sleep on my right side, wear my Apple Watch to alert me of abnormal rhythms, take magnesium, and follow the guidelines in the books “Afib Cure” and “ Eat to Beat Disease”. I take Flecainide if I have an Afib episode.

You may want to consider getting a sleep study to check for sleep apnea and overnight drops in your oxygen level (hypoxia). I have sleep apnea and after covid and the shots, my nightime oxygen was dropping to dangerously low level level if 72%! I was placed in oxygen overnight, but I have recovered and I am now off oxygen. I wear a continuous oximeter overnight to alert me of oxygen drops.

Losing extra weight and exercising is also helpful. I slowly increased my indoor walking to 5 miles daily. I cannot get my heart rate over 120 or I go into Afib, but I also have heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. I have not had an Afib episode in over a year. I feel well with normal daily activities and I am not on any prescription heart medications.

@janet123 glad you are also benefitting from "The Afib Cure"! My last episode was 4/24. I usually go a year at least but in 2023 I had a few in a cluster due to stress. Hoping to make it to April! We are fortunate.
