Hi,
I am 67 and have been treated for AFib for about 8 years.

I have been relatively symptom free for that time with the medications prescribed.

I recently had a COVID vaccine and developed daily AFib symptoms.

Has anyone else experienced a connection between vaccines and the uptake of AFib symptoms?

Of course there is a connection. Sto consuming anything with caffeine if you have been.

Hi.

This doesn't address your question (which leads me to wonder whether the vaccines played a role in my AF). Rather, I'm just wondering what meds you've been on, and whether you were still in AF but without symptoms.

I went into persistent AF (first known AF occurrence) in late May. Metoprolol reduced (but did not stop) the fibrillation, and stopped the symptoms.

I had a successful cardioversion last week (despite not being to take amiodarone). Waiting to see how long it lasts.

Cheers.
