Nose blockage and Af attacks,are they related to each others? If yes how?

Hi Maitha

Not for me, and I have not heard of a link, BUT anything which makes you feel rough from flu to a bad cut or bruise will exacerbate AF in my experience, so I know of no direct link, only the usual feeling bad AF flares one.

Hope this helps

Hi Maitha - Do you mean does a permanently blocked nose cause AF in general, or with the onset of a blocked nose an attack of AF may start?

I have nose blockage most of the times recently , which I feel it trigger AF attack

I'm already diagnosed as AF case but even my family noticed that when my nose blocked I got attack soon

I have got a permanently twisted nostril which means I snore quite badly. And although I can get AF anytime and in any situation, I often wake up in the night with it.

Who knows what causes this nuisance of a thing!
