Stop the press...in case others reading this post have the same issues I wanted to reach out and maybe help some of them. In in the last few days since I initially posted suffering I tried reducing my sugar and carb intake at lunch and dinner to virtually 0. Only at breakfast am I allowing myself a piece of whole wheat bread and fruit. I have had had an improvement of 95% since then. No bloating , no trapped air and therefore no AFIB!!!!! Seems as though my body is not digesting sugar/carbs and they ferment i will update in a week on my progress.

Hi,I am 3.5 years into this health ordeal that has completely ruined my life. I have been to a dozen doctors and still cannot get a proper diagnosis: Paroxysmal AFIB, IBS, Depression and other nonsense. I tried naturopaths/acupuncture to no success. Out of the blue I get daily attacks of indigestion/AFIB. They last hours and I cannot function while they occur. The Electrophysioligist wants to cauterize the heart to stop the AFIB but has no clue why I get the indigestion attacks and doesn't know if they will be solved by doing the procedure. If I burp enough times the AFIB stops eventually 6 Gastrentoroogists straight don't find anything wrong with my stomach. I did gastroscopies (2), 24 HR phone test. Tried Nexium , Panto etc of course. I have a small HH....... I tried many diets.... When I take Ativan it helps a bit. Flecainide and Metropolol help a lot but mostly with the AFIB. My theory is that the vagus nerve is causing the Gastro and Heart is causing the issues. Should I see a neurologist next? How would he test the vagus nerve? fyi I am in Canada and it takes a year to see neurologist so I would drive to Northeast US and pay for one privately Please I need everyone's input how to proceed. Thanks in advance.
