Back in AF

Another episode of AF started after lunch, which could well have been a contributor.

HR = 135-180 BP dropping, now 82/50 and in Spain. Strangely I don't feel ill and can walk around the house but only been going for an hour so will see how I go. I am drinking lots of water as the atmosphere here is very dry - stiff southerly breeze and Sahara dust on the cars so could well be de-hydrated. And it was going so well.......c'est la vie.

How miserable for you, especially when you are away from home. The unpredictability of AF is what makes it such a bastard of a condition.

I do hope that it stops soon and that you can enjoy what remains of your holiday.

Very best wishes.

Hope it settles soon and drink as much as you can. I remember in Italy at 30C I was drinking 3 litres a day! And that was before I started on water. Only kidding. Enjoy the sunshine.

Take care

Hope you feel better soon keep up the fluids.

Hope this has stopped for you by now CD. You know all the ' tricks ' to employ to try to get you back in nsr especially the fluids.

Best wishes

Bad luck CD. On the plus side, you say you don't feel too bad. Hope that's still the case and the af remains an irritation rather than a concern. Good luck.

Watta bummer.......i'm told 2017 is a good year for Evian!! Hope you get back on track and manage to enjoy the rest of your holiday and get back home safely........

Thanks guys - back to NSR after about 4 hours just feeling washed out, usual stuff post episode. Good sleep will hopefully put that right. None of the 'tricks' worked this time, well not in a reasonable time frame anyway.

Dehydration along with bad stress were the two triggers that sent me into the first very bad episode of AF. Fantastic you were back to NSR after 4 hours. Enjoy Spain!
