Hello Eveyone! I am also very curious about the vaccine vs afib connection. I had my first afib episode back on 10-19-19 - then nothing for two years. I had my first pfizer shot on 1-6-21, second on 2-6-21, booster on 9-9-21. Then, on 10-11-21 I experienced afib, then again 4 days later on 10-15-21. Since then I am having episodes just about every two weeks! I do find this very coincidental.
Are there any thoughts that as the booster begins to wane, so will afib episodes? I am so perplexed by all of this. I will meet with an electrophysiologist on 2-14-22, at Mayo. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Be healthy in the new year.

Very similar situation. I just turned 45 and have had Afib occasionally for the past few years… my dad and grandmother also had it. Post vaccine, I was in Afib constantly.. which led to putting me on a medication that dropped my HR so low, I was in ER. Had one cardio version before the emergency ordeal post vax, then had the ablation after the emergency situation when I obviously couldn’t handle the medication anymore. My cardiologist said he cant say either way if the Afib got worse because of the vax. I have been feeling amazing since my ablation in Oct 21.. scared to get the booster though. I don’t want to have to go through that again. Waiting to hear back from my cardiologist about my concerns.
