Afib Triggers: Mine is my neck or body position, yours?

Any liquor at all and caffeine are particular triggers. I could drink one glass of wine and my pulse would shoot up to 180 and I’d go into afib. Same with caffeine. Stress would be a trigger as well but I could also go into afib simply when watching TV.
I don’t drink at all now and I limit caffeine to an occasional piece of chocolate. I had an ablation in August and all is well, no afib at all. But I still am careful with triggers and don’t drink, watch stress, and limit caffeine.

Is an ablation the same as getting an ICD defibrillator? I get tachycardia, bradycardia, and at times, on occasion may skip a beat or feel like going to pop out of my skin. I believe mine is brought on by stress, caffeine and alcohol. I try to not let things bother me so less stress. I don’t drink any alcohol but continue to drink decaf coffee. I so appreciate these articles affirming triggers and what to do about it. I am trying to eat right but extremely difficult loosing weight. I’m 73 and do go to cardiac rehab when able. Also once or twice a week senior swim or rather just exercise at the pool Y.
