That's a hallmark of "vagally-mediated" afib, which is related to the vagal nerve and can result from eating. It is less common than "adrenergic" afib. Mellanie Richard,

Absolutely. That’s a hallmark of “vagally-mediated” afib, which is related to the vagal nerve and can result from eating. It is less common than “adrenergic” afib.

If I let is go on too long my heart starts to flutter too. I was in the hospital 2 years ago because I went to the emergency room and they admitted me. I told the Dr. I have to watch what I eat, if I eat too much it will trigger and attack. The Dr. gave me Bentyl for my stomach to control the attacks and it seems to do the job. I take a Bentyl when I and starting to have an attack and it stops in 30 minutes. No one believes me when I tell them food causes me to have an attack. Has anyone else heard of this?

What has the electrophysiologist who did the ablation recommended as the next step? Sometimes a second ablation will solve the problem, especially if it is flutter rather than afib. But if it is afib, sometimes surgery is worth considering. Mellanie Jim,

I am 42 and have had afib fo close to 5 years now. I was a tobacco user for many years (snuff) and have quit since last year....the 1 st couple of times i had episodes was in relation to drinking to much the previous evening...all that is behind me now, i even gave up caffeine...so i rarely consume alcohol, havnt had caffeine in a couple of years, i dont touch nicotine anymore....and i still get 2-3 episodes a year. i dont take any meds because they make me feel terrible, i do work out 3-4 days per week...i do believe that the right diet can help prevent afib, as aspartme has given me a flutter now and then, i just dont know what that diet is?? My doctor tells me to stop all these bad habits, which i did, butr she never mentions the stress that i have in my life and how that can be a possibility?? please comment.... just found this site today, great stuff!

Otherwise you're just fixing a symptom, not an underlying cause. I've had arrhythmia for many years, and I managed to defeat it only by removing certain foods and drinks from my diet. I did not add anything new.

In addition there are other reasons to be careful not to over-consume soy products. So be very careful with soy.
