Was diagnosed with Afib last November. Had catheter ablation in March. But still suffer afibs in mornings and sometimes all day. Recently I suffered stiff thoracic spine issues and next was out too. After couple visits to Chiropractic I think the afibs may actually be triggered by the impinged nerves or vagus nerve communication problems. I continue to hunt for the right cure. But after reading other Afib comments I am sure it is the vagus nerve as I cannot sleep on my right side. Anybody with similar issues?

Yep, no problem there .... but have you considered food or drinks maybe 'gingering up a tad' your vagus nerve. I have once gone into AF sleeping on my left side ! That was a king hit I tell ya. But that was the only event since April 2015 as I have been monitoring my food. Drinks do not affect my AF nor do ice cold stuff like very chilled beer or ice cream.
Earlier this year I was travelling a lot and was careless with my food, particularly in motorway services, and that caused me no end of grief (totally disabling me on one occasion) with very high HR .... like up around 140 ish .... but not actually converting into AF.
Hi. Just like to mention that as soon as I got afibs. I hunted the net for cures. I found s Dr Carolyn Dean from Hawaii. She makes a magnesium liquid in Pico form that goes into the system through the stomach wall before getting to the intestines where other magnesium's cause laxative effects. I have never had issues like that with her pico magnesium. Needless to say that after almost one year taking this liquid magnesium I do feel better. Not completely cured yet. And some days I do not have afibs. So I do believe in re-minerialising the system and heart. I continue this magnesium suppliment and now that I know that the vagus nerve has something to do with the Afibs I just have to track the symptoms to find the origins of all this.
Without doubt Vagus Nerve can trigger afib, I certainly have problems if sleeping on my left or if I get indigestion.
I try to avoid these 2 whilst taking CCB and flecainide tablets and most times everything stays steady.
Lots of peple also suggest taking Magnesium to help the heart, although this can depend on your personal circumstances,. Take a look at Sanjay Gupta from York Cardiology on Youtube , he has lots of videos and talks about Vagus Nerve
