I know that caffeine affects my HR so I am currently drinking decaf. You might try the same to see if that helps.

Recent clinical evidence indicates that caffeine does not increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and may actually be protective. The DECAF randomized clinical trial, published in JAMA and presented at the American Heart Association 2025 Scientific Sessions, found that patients with persistent AFib who consumed an average of one cup of caffeinated coffee daily had a 39% lower risk of AFib recurrence compared to those who abstained from caffeine entirely.
