Upper respiratory infection

[Rdiehl01]

Hello everyone…I am 6 years post pulmonary vein isolation for multiple atrial arrhythmias…ablation was a success, however, I still get intermittent skipped heart beats when I have upper respiratory infections with a hoarse voice…anyone experience this?

Oh yes!

These are likely ectopic or missed beats which are quite benign so of no concern ---unless of course you focus on them and turn them into a continual worry. Slow deep breathing usually stops them if persistent.

Yes. I am 4 years post pvi cryoablation . NO AFIB since but have a lot of ectopics occasionally for days. I have no concerns about them. However it is very noticeable when I have an infection they appear. Also begining to suspect other ectopics may be also due to very minor infections that you really dont really notice, such as a minor sniffle where you don't feel unwell at all.

This guy has cured himself of ectopics. It has worked for me as well. It may very well work for you. carrafibdietinfo.com/

I've tried to read that several times after various people posted the link, but it's very wordy and I find it difficult to drill down to exactly what he's advocating. I wish he'd included an action plan at the end, maybe with bullet points.

Could you explain how you have applied his method please blulla?

As far as I can tell he takes Vit D, has cut out dairy to keep his calcium levels low, and recommends cranberries and mushrooms!
