Covid and AFib Connection?

I have a history of A-fib for the last 5 years after having a PFO closure that was substantial. I go into A-fib a couple of times weekly but it corrects itself after less than 30 seconds. I got my Pfizer vaccine initial dose without any issue but after my second dose started to go into A-fib 15 to 20 times daily. I'm only on Eliquis. My resting heart rate is in the low 50s. I exercise 6 days a week and watch my diet closely. My cardiologist wanted to start my on Metoprolol but my heart rate is too slow. It took about a month to get back to normal. My employer is going to force us to get a booster this fall. I'm definitely concerned. I had Covid back in January with minimal symptoms. Everyone says to worry about Covid. Ways doesn't anyone ( my PCP and Cardiologist) seem to care about my A-fib.

See my comment just before yours. The Moderna shots put me into Afib after 9 yrs of being on defetilide with no Afib. Not getting any more shots. I only had the first two. And from all I am reading, (1) the shots don't do a bit of good (you'll still get Covid) and (2) consensus seems to be that the vaccines are damaging the immune system. I think about 5 yrs from now, there's going to be a big awakening at how our government screwed this up.
