Diagnosed with paroxysmal AF 8 years ago that didn’t really affect my life over next 5 years did Zumba 3 x week, daily big walks & swimming. AF increased as did medication so gave up all the usual AF no no’s. 18 months ago I passed out. Had to take 5 mths off work with daily episodes dizziness & exhaustion had shingles for 2nd time. Returned just as Covid hit so been WFH. The episodes I can “cope “ with (!) calm breathing & meditation etc. But it’s the dizzy spells, im really struggling. Past 4 weeks it’s exacerbated daily AF & the dizziness many times day just sat down doing nothing. Can’t ever go for walk, I’ve tried but have to keep lying down so I don’t pass out. I try do yoga 3x week but not in past month & if I am having a good spell, can’t get head lower than heart. Yoga before was great. I’m so frustrated. Posted about upcoming ablation fears & need to decrease BMI big time (that I’m working on) but exercise is a part I’m missing because of dizziness even walking. Takes a lot to knock me down & although I work keeping mentally focused I usually bounce back up when not dizzy or lots of episodes. Medication not changed since September - flex 200g day, bishop 5mg day & apixaban for thinning, Has anyone suffered with this, got a miracle cure 👍🏻or a ray of hope 😁 x

Magnesium Citrate 200mg twice a day cured me of ectopic beats 10% that I'd had for 12 months. It is beneficial to many other arrhythmia conditions. It is supported by some clinical studies. What's to lose?
You need to find out why this is happening, if it's due to pauses causing bradycardia then a pacemaker may be needed, if it's your meds they can be changed. Don't try and self treat until you've had some tests.
