I have had Atril fib for years untill it got diagnosed and given medication

Me too. It is difficult to detect apparently, and lots of people don’t know they have it and could possibly die of a stroke. I hadn’t even heard of AF., but l knew something was fluttering in my chest. I assumed it was a build up of gas, as l have stomach issues and get full of burps and wind. A paramedic diagnosed me. I am eternally grateful that it was caught and treated.

It is known ( but not necessarily understood by healthcare professionals ) that the Vagal Nerve can impact on both heart and the digestive ( the gut ) system. It is like an information superhighway running communication networks between the brain, the heart and the gut ..... it is also known to impact/cause/influence AF. Generally, GP's just roll their eyes at this, gasteroenterologists accept and understand it and Cardiac Consultants may just shrug their shoulders. I have had quite sound results by consulting a Nutritionist and following prescribed diets over many years. Calm the vagal nerve, calm the heart !

Yes, agreed.
