My paroxysmal fibrillation kicked in after a stressful time of my life and stayed with me for two whole weeks.
I have fibrillations. I am 59 and live alone, so it can get scary from time to time when I have episodes).
My A Fib is probably caused in part by my weight, and my eating had increased after the loss of my son.
With my A Fibs bad news obviously upset me so my heart was flopping around all night.
Yes, atrial fibrillation can be caused by stress, I think. I had bad news too and this morning I'm exhausted and feel breathless.
My cat helps as it helps to relax and control the atrial fibrillation.
