It is really scary, and uncomfortable. My team have now put me on a steroid. I was on a drug called colchicine and it made me sick. Did you notice the heart pain increase with caffeine or exercise? I got short of breath walking up a flight of stairs yesterday. I just want it to go away.

I agree, it was/is scary and uncomfortable. Of course, the discomfort you are experiencing may be different from mine. I did not notice heart pain increase with caffeine or during exercise (after exercise sometimes) and I'm not short of breath climbing stairs. The more I learn about my Afib, the more convinced I am that, like so many maladies, it's a highly variable condition that resists a one size fits all treatment plan.
