NameMike11205
LocationQueens, NY
Age55
Diagnosed conditionPAF
Years with condition4
Frequency of episodes15 times per year
Duration of episodes6 to 18 hours
Event preceding first AFnone
General healthvery good
Current statePAF is a nuisance
Triggerscaffienated and decaffienated coffee, caffienated cola drinks. Staying up late the night before combined with late-night eating to excess. The onset of an afib episode almost always occurs during a period of relaxation which follows an unusually stressful period or following unusual physical exertion. Ninety percent of my episodes occur on Friday or Saturday, the other episodes occur on Thursdays.
PreventionsTaking propanolol the night before I suspect that I might be vulnerable to afib.
Current medications/side effectsPer my doctor's instructions, I take proponalol at the onset of an afib episode. It does not shorten the duration of the episode but I feel it dampens the amplitude of the heart beats. I have found the medication is much more effective as a preventative as outlined above.
Past medications/side effectsnone
History of surgerynone
Future plansstay healthy
Personal commentsStress management and staying away from the known triggers in my case can probably reduce the frequency of episodes to the minimum.
