A pattern emerging

So I'm currently on my 2 night shifts of my shift pattern and I've noticed that I'm getting a large number of ectopics when I come home at 6:am and lay in bed..... this morning it felt as though every other beat was a missed one for about 5-10 mins, I checked on kardia whilst it was happening and had reading of unclassified and heart rate of 75, then when the went had reading of normal and heart rate of 74... I don't think it was AF, as the rate felt steady... I wonder if over tiredness plays a part in my symptoms

We all have our fingers crossed, Juggsy, that you are going to sail along on a very smooth sea.

I think working shifts can mess up your whole equilibrium big time.

Juggsy , I think that overtiredness plays a big role in all this. It certainly does for me.

I agree with Rellim about the effects of shift working as well.

I did shift work for 9 years and experienced horrible palpitations with tiredness, I had 3 children to support so it was a must, the 7 nights were the worst. My

A/F is exacerbated by stress and tiredness would play a big part too. I found mine would kick off more often if I laid on my left hand side. Ectopics are worrisome, so I would run it past our doc, have you worn a tape yet to detect your rhythms?

Yes I've worn 48hr monitors but they've been fine, it only seems to happen after night shifts

Is there any way you can avoid night shifts maybe as that seems to be the trigger?
