Some might find this interesting but I am probably beating a dead horse. At least is not not the normal post subject matter.

A couple of days ago I worked for hours on an electrical panel while in a very awkward physical position. At night, while looking down at the computer, my back, around T1 and T2, began to pain. I had already realized that my heart was beating very slowly, in the low 40’s according to my Apple watch. I stretched my neck and my heart rate went into the 60’s. But I could not keep it there. And then my heart went into AF as it most always does when my heart rate stays in the 40’s. The cardiologist solution for this is a pacemaker which often fixes the symptom but not the cause.

I laid on my Vertebra 2 and the program that I selected worked on the upper part of the back and on the neck. It amazingly focuses on the part of the back that needs attention. This I know from experience. The pain went away but my heart stayed in AF until the next day when I did more electrical work. Climbing 32 flights of stairs probably gave it a work out. The AF has stayed at bay for 24 hours now and will likely stay this way until I mess my back up again; and it sometimes does not take much.

A couple of weeks ago I literally flew off a stepladder and landed in a pile of tools and other stuff. Nothing broken but my wife said my back looked like it had been mauled by a bear. Yet, I did not experience any pain. Interestingly enough laying on the Vertebra 2 gave me excruciating pain under my left shoulder blade. I was unaware that there was something wrong here. The pain indicated there was something wrong. After five treatments, the pain is no longer there when I lay on the Vertebra 2. I have been told by an expert there can be pain when treatments are being done. Actually, the Vertebra 2 does nothing. It messages the brain and the brain tells the body how to fix the problem.

Using the Vertebra 2 has changed my heart symptoms but the brain has not eliminated them. Determining what programs to use is a bit of trial and error. I will keep trying. I am also trying a new way to stimulate the vagus nerve.

There is more to how the body works than what is known in western medicine.

If any of you have any information on the back and AF, or want to discuss it more, please send me a message.

Sounds like that pesky old vagus nerve again, though I've no idea how to 'fix' it in your case (or any case!). Some posts on here have suggested things. (Maybe search vagus nerve?)

The thing you also emphasise for me is how important it is to be aware of your down body and its reactions - hopefully through persistence with that, you will be able to find a way of managing your AFIB.
