I experience the same thing after heavy meals. So I avoid meat or whole wheat products. It might be related to digestion. Digestion uses a lot of the bodies resources, and draws blood away from other areas of the body. So it works the heart more. I went on a plant based diet and it helped a lot.
Yes, my AF was caused by normal dinners incl meat after 8pm, so I now have very light evening meal as earlier as I can with no cold fizzies, alcohol or coffee. Not ideal socially but nor is disappearing to A & E!
Thank you so much secondtry. I’m trying the light evening meal ... early ... one g&t ... no dessert ... seems to be working ... lots of water with dinner ... l have only experienced two afib episodes in my entire lifetime ... l want no more!!

Impossible for us to say, without seeing a cardiac rhythm strip. A Kardia device would allow you to email some recordings to your cardio.
Thank you so much oyster. I will look into your suggestion.
