Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 These may seem strange questions but bear with me! Are there group members who are able to bring on an event at will? Has anyone ever deliberately initiated an AF episode? I am asking these questions as I am exploring the role the `mind' has in initiating events. Let me stress at this point that I want as few episodes as any one else who has AF problems! I recently went 9 months without an event. No meds in this time either but I totally abstained from alcohol which had sometimes been a trigger in the past. However two days after having a moderate amount of alcohol for the first time in a year I began constantly thinking about AF. My breathing became erratic and (you've guessed it!!) an AF event started after my breathing became erratic whilst sitting down. This is the first passive event I have ever had – usually I have been doing something physical. I am convinced it was the `mind' game (psychosomatic?) that caused the event and not the toxins from the alcohol. So even thinking about AF ( like I am at the moment writing this) gets me nervous nowadays!! AG in Wales Quote
