I started taking semaglutide about 5 months ago. During the last 30 days on semaglutide, GLP-1, my dosage was increased. I’ve lost about 20lbs on it. I had a history of Afib and 7 years ago had a heart ablation because I didn’t want to be on blood thinners and heart rate meds for the rest of my life. I’ve had no reoccurrence of Afib for 7 years. All of a sudden last month I went into persistent Afib. I went to urgent care and have spoken to a few doctors and no one seems to know anything about a relationship between GLP-1 and Afib. Everything on the internet says GLP-1 should actually help with AFIB because of weight loss. I stopped taking Semaglutide 2 weeks ago but am still in AFIB. I will be seeing a Mayo cardiologist in a few weeks.
Anyone else have any experience with GLP-1 and AFIB
