Post-Ablation Alcohol Intake
M,42, Paroxysmal Afib (with RVR) 11 months post-PFA and no symptomatic/noticeable episodes yet...and no irregular notifications from my apple watch.
I've been having 2-5 beers a week (2-3 most in one sitting) and haven't noticed any negative effects. While I recognize this doesn't mean much, I'm wondering if there are any other afibbers out there with a similar profile to me that still drink...and even binge drink? I used to have a 6 pack in an evening once or twice a month and miss it.
The only identifiable trigger I was able to nail down before my ablation was a large meal/sitting/laying down combo, which is completely gone since my ablation.
I know that there are a lot of afibbers who decide it isn't worth the risk and while I respect that, I'd appreciate feedback from those who still choose to drink and their stories.
Should add: was taken off anticoagulants by my EP in the recovery room and am not on any meds currently for afib or anything else.
