They told me not to take aspirin when I asked about it. They said I don’t need anything. I have had 3 episodes of AFib since the ER. They didn’t last long and got shorter each time. I was able to stop them with maneuvers and breathing.

I find the following can help: extending neck by jutting chin forward; forcing burps - inhale air into mouth and the burp it out; sit rather than lie back - if you want to lean back use a wedge shape foam pillow to keep head & neck upright

Hello Blanche! I am interested in knowing what maneuvers are successful for you. If it’s too much to type it all out if you could refer me to a Website that would also be helpful.
Thank you
