Sudden onset and disappearance of arrythmia

[pickerticker]

I'm 67 & I've used a chest strap pulse monitor daily for 15 years during exercise. Never hit 130. Three days ago my resting pulse hit a fluttery 110 and160 during light rowing/spinning. Today everything normal; thirty minutes rowing, max pulse 110. What happened?

No one knows, best see Doc, however unlikely they will do much at the point but they may give you a lead to the significance.

That's generally how AF starts, with wide spaced attacks, perhaps one or two a year. Then they tend to get closer, some people can end up in constant AF while others just get sporadic attacks. Mine eventually kicked off every 4-6 weeks and became more debilitating over time, but quite a few years ago my sister had a little flurry of attacks , chose to ignore them and they went completely. She's 60 now and I do wonder if they'll eventually come back. A tip I can give you is that the more attention you give these rogue beats the worse they will become.

A more plant based diet containing no artificial additives, cutting out caffeine, alcohol and sugary foods should help too. Lots of members of this forum have reported how taking magnesium has reduced their attacks. I'm sorry to tell you that many people, me included, who have exercised more than is usual end up with AF. By slowing down your exercise routine and not pushing yourself should help too - annoying isn't it!!
