Hi Jedi ,
With a fever I go straight into AF !
Hope this post doesn't mean you are feeling " ropey " ?

Yes. I would normally go into AF if i catch the flu bug. Worse is we can’t take any antihistamines. So I would just weather it out by resting and drinking a lot of water.
Hi, I haven't had AF from a virus but I now ALWAYS avoid Sudafed when I have a heavy cold (aka ManFlu!). Sudafed and some other decongestants are a known trigger for AF for many people.
After quite a few AF free years I went into AF following a really nasty upper respiratory virus earlier this year so now I will be extra vigillant around people who are coughing and spluttering. X
Yes.
Not been too bad yesterday though I think I've started with tonsilitis. Heart behaving!
Not what you're looking for?
