After losing weight and getting healthier...I ended up in A&E with atrial fibrillation.

On Friday night.

Heart started fluttering in my throat when I went to bed. Pulse was all over the place.

I'm now on beta-blockers and aspirin and seeing a cardiologist next week.

Has anyone else had this?

Thanks, oops.

Sounds like yours was definitely stress related.

hotbot. Yes, I've read about binge drinking and AF. I've been a very infrequent and light drinker since last summer, so I don't think that would be a cause for me. I was a frequent drinker before that though...

ah bubble , lifes not fair...
not suggesting youre a binge drinkrt btw, just didnt want you to have a few on bbs and then feel ghastly

I'm hoping the cardiologist will say that the BBs have cardioverted me back into normal rythmn and that I can stop taking them. I might have to have a controlled stop, though.
