This has been extremely helpful to me anyway. Mine starts in the atrium. This I know because as soon as it starts I have to urinate every 10 minutes. My cardiologist explained that is because the atrium produces a diuretic when in afib. I am do interested to read of the different techniques that you suggested. I will definitely try the next time, if there is a next time,.. my problem is I just can't relax when in fast afib. Thank you again.

Omigosh @ev11 every time I am in an ambulance with afib I desperately need to pee. Thanks for the explanation! It is actually one of the most difficult aspects of my episodes. Then I am in bed tied to monitors and have to use bedpans. Ugh!
I too have to urinate a lot when in AFib since i am basically asymptomatic sometimes that is the way I know. The worst is at night constantly waking up to go to bathroom.
I have tried all those natural techniques suggested in this conversation by others nothing works.
If you can find it see if you can find my post sent last month or so No Rhyme or Reason. Also I attached something about cause of frequent urination.

Also, when the afib acts up and you are anxious try coughing hard.. wait a few seconds.. do it again. Sometimes that will break the cycle and stop the afib (my usual disclaimer - talk to you doctor if you have concerns).
