Overactive bladder and Afib

I had a catheter ablation in February 2015, which has been very successful.

However I have recently suffered with an overactive bladder, so purchased an Innovo pelvic floor exerciser. After three weeks of use I experianced an Afib attack, my heart has been a little jumpy since.

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced similar?

It is well known that AF causes increased urine production so maybe your cart is in front of the horse.

Did you mean that the 'exerciser' emits an electric pulse? And you were wondering if this can affect the heart rhythm? I would have thought that of it was going to affect the heart, it may do so the first time you used it.

It's an interesting idea though... if your device has different settings you could experiment to see if it could affect the heart in a positive way (eg restore to a normal rhythm) ! :o)
