I am not obese, do not have diabetes, and my blood pressure is actually low. Doctors referred to my blood work as “pristine”.

While they can be major factors….it isn’t a factor in my case. Lack of those co-morbidities isn’t a “home free” pass.

The remodeling of the heart increases the poor performance of the heart…and all the issues that come with it. My advice? Do whatever you have to to stop the Afib episodes

@katiekateny by avoiding triggers, eating early, not reclining after eating, and supplementing potassium and magnesium, my afib episodes are very infrequent and not long. I do have kidney disease, but only stage 3A. I am monitoring all of this and any connections between the two. I do not take meds but have diltiazem and Eliquis for PIP.
