....Stress, bending over from waist, and overheating are my triggers. Meditation, yoga, also help,....

WOW. Triggers! Never considered that! Just thought it was RANDOM... yet... just before my aorta valve replacement surgery I went to emergency room due to supper dizzy, almost falling over - from doing my morning outside animal feeding chores - including BENDING OVER AND CLEANING AND REFILLING WATER BOWLS.... Just after this I had to sit down as totally out of breath... then 30 minutes later off to emergency room...

Now after surgery, doing that same bending over causes my a-fib to kick in hard! I had no idea! I just thought I got it worse by working outside in the heat/humidity in the morning... But now I can relate! WOW!

So this morning I tried to limit my bending over at the waist and I think I am less dizzy than 'normal.'

SO TRIGGERS CAN BRING ON HEAVY or HEAVIER A-FIB. What a concept! I am a believer now. Thanks!
