Had the Moderna booster in late Oct, then the night after Thanksgiving dinner (and too much to drink), my Apple Watch notified me of possible AFIB. Same warning next two nights, so as a precaution, went to the ER. Hooked up to a monitor for 90 minutes — everything normal. Fast forward to January: after a couple more episodes, went to my GP and explained what had happened. Wore a heart monitor for 2 wks which confirmed what my watch had been telling me. So … after lots of “research” and counseling, today I took my first dose of Eliquis! Hoping for the best. I’m 71 and have not other risk factors.

I had a wicked case of toxic myopathy from eliquis, took 95% of my walking ability at about a month in, 2.5 weeks off getting energy back in my legs. Eliquis was pure poison to me, the worst thing that ever happened to me taking circulation evergreen for my dvt recovery.
After having Covid, being vaccinated and boosted I started having PVC's. (I'm 74) After much testing Dr. said my Mitral Valve was triggering arrhythmia. I recently started wearing an Apple Watch. I also stopped caffeine, alcohol, and now exercise more. The watch has been great at monitoring episodes for me. Stops me from worrying so much. I was given a script for Metoprolol, to take as needed, but have not felt a need at this point. I think diet change has really helped. Loved hearing about the watch and hope you are doing well!

Alcohol is one of the major triggers. "...and too much to drink". Unfortunately even a drink or two can do it. If it were the vaccine it would have happened within a few days I think (but who really knows).
