afib and frequent urination

[mbhakta]

just passed a short episode of afib. I don't know whether it will come back shortly or not. I have frequent urination till yet six times within an hour can anyone suggest what may be reason?

Your distressed heart secretes a hormone to make you pee to get rid of salt. Perfectly normal if you have AF.

thanks BobD. I was afraid if my sodium balance get worse.

It's called "increased micturition."

While normal urine is yellow-ish AF urine is almost colourless.

Sudden bladder activity, akin to Niagara Falls, is often my indicator that an AF episode has begun.

Bob is correct. The heart secretes a hormone to reduce your blood pressure. Search for Atrial Natrurietic Peptide, ANP. A-fibbers call this The Big Pee

Even more importantly, this is normal! Frightening the first time it happened, but now the new norm during an episode!

Constant during afib attacks. Very annoying.
