Vagus Nerve Effect on Heartbeat

Hi, I'm Wendy. I've had pAFib for a couple of years now, almost entirely at night. A couple of weeks ago I stopped at Culver's with my spouse. I asked her to order me a mini concrete mixer (about the size of a single scoop of custard). When it arrived at the table, it turned out to be a small (about 2.5 times as much). I watch my weight, and never have that much (but it WAS pumpkin, and I hadn't ordered anything else). Long story short, I ate the whole thing, and within an hour, I was in AFib. Did my vagus nerve do this? Anyone else have this happen?

@tekkie50 if I eat much of anything or especially sweets after 6pm I’m doomed for Afib. I’d better walk a mile, when eating after 6.
