I’ve had benign, postural ectopic beats since my twenties. Not a problem. After my 5th covid shot they got so bad my doctor had me wear a ZIO patch for two weeks. It showed 265 episodes of SVTs and I don’t remember how many PACs. Right after that I had my first episode of Afib. I had two more shortly after. This was just shocking to me. I have lived a clean, heart healthy life. I’m fit, I exercised daily, I have none of the typical afib triggers. Now I’ve had a double ablation and I’m on a blood thinner. I still can’t believe it. I took an ekg from my watch 12 hours after my 6th shot and showed it to my EP. He said “yeah, we’re seeing a lot of this post covid vaccine heart issues.” So, the covid infection is well documented to cause afib and other cardiovascular problems. Now the vaccine is being studied and reveals that it too can cause afib and other arrhythmias so basically we’re doomed if we do and doomed if we don’t. I’m 71, I can’t afford to get covid. But I’m questioning continuing to get the vaccine. Sigh….
