I also take multaq and eliquis and have breakthroughs every 2-3 weeks. Oddly, when afib occurs my ears get clogged and stuffy. i asked the nurse/doctor and they said there is no connection. Have you had this happen? I also had episodes only once a month early on and now they have increased. The dr. wants me to take a different rate pill. My episodes are always the first thing upon awakening. What is the trigger?

YES, my ears get clogged and stuffy, my EP sees no connection. I am post ablation diagnosed with PAC (post atrial contractions) Abbott implanted chip says no fib. BTW I was denied an appointment at Mayo with this diagnosis.

Is the awakening causing the Afib (do you use an alarm?) or is the Afib causing you to awaken?
