Anyone experience this? I think this was afib or what?

[groundedcloser]

I was stressed yesterday

over worked, plus

had some sugar, salty snacks(I don't usually dabble in things like that) but yesterday I did

A mars bar

Sushi but I dipped the sushi heavy in Soy Sauce with lots of MSG, Salt

Had a coffee

and I was sitting down at my desk and all of a sudden

My heart started to go haywire like erratic, irregular, fast beat and then I got up and went to the bathroom and it was back to normal.

It felt like longer than that but it was probably a 10 secon Afib thing so not bad.

The last time I had such a thing was 1 year ago so they are infrequent

Same thing I noticed last time I had this, I had eatn a greasy burger, with salty fries, coffee and was extremely stressed.

I might have Afib but I think more so I had a heart rhythm irregularity on this occassion due to all of those negative stimulants.

I wasn't experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath or even dizziness

Any idea what this could have been and if the factors I listed might have caused it? I think I know but just checking to see for reference

Thanks

I have something similar, it is always related to swallowed air/stomach gurgling. I find I swallow a lot of air sipping hot tea/coffee as I cool it with a mouthful of air. Just another possibility for you.

Okay thanks. Not worried as I'm healthy and no other symptoms but just wondering if I'm an alien or do I have others on this boat wth me. So ectopics can be erratic and like fluttters, quivers...I thought they have a consistent pattern. I guess not huh

Yeah mine are sometimes flutters alot of people get them.I think the time to worry if its afib is if ot last 30 seconds or longer.

I had an Afib episode last year that lasted the whole day, on and off. Flutters, irregular.But it was because I had trainin Jiu Jitsu the night before, sparred hard, was aso sick with the flu, had a glass of wine which was a triggerand workedout hard that day I got that episode.
