AF after using nasal decongestant

[Outsidethelines]

I’ve known certain triggers for my AF for years - mainly alcohol and stress. But it seems as I get older new ones are creeping in too. My latest episode began immediately after I sniffed a nasal decongestant for a badly blocked nose - and I mean immediately! Ive known for years that I’m not allowed to take Sudafed, due to being on Bisoprolol, but in the past I’ve been fine with the simple sniffy sticks. The ingredients listed on this one are menthol, eucalyptus, camphor and borneol, which I’ve never actually heard of before. Are any of these ingredients a known no-no? And is there anything I can use for a blocked nose in the future? I’ve always favoured natural remedies such as inhaling menthol vapour, but this episode has made me think it’s not such a good idea for me. Your suggestions/thoughts would be much appreciated

I have hypothyroidism as well as Afib. All anti congestion, cough mixture, flue remedies are off limits to me. So it's paracetamol, lemon and honey.... That's it!! Weather the storm as they say.... Lol... 😢😢
