SO I am new to this discussion. i have had Afib once ten years ago, once last august and twice this august. the firs time I sought treatment and even went to the ER. SInce then it has been going away within six hours. I am 57 yrs young. Sometime I try to get it to snap back into rythym by exercise (running) .I am wondering if exercise can help clear the blood and minimize chances of blood clot. I do take an asprin a day.

Anyone have any idea what may bring this on? Seems that it hapens in August when i am training wondering if dehyration can be a cause?
Also it sounds like caffine is a cause?
How about drinking beer ?

Dehydration, caffine, and alcohol all can effect Afib and even exercise can cause problems for some people.

I agree - all stimulants caffeine, sugar, and esepcially alcohol can bring it it. Champagne is the worse - alchohol and sugar delivered by carbonation.
