Eating late

[Guest guest]

For me it isn't what I eat, although I avoid really rich food anyway, but

when. Long before I was ever diagnosed with afib I learned that meals late in

the evening could trigger ectopics and discomfort. I used to assume, in fact,

that if I had been out on the town having a high old time, as my mom used to

say...eating and drinking late...I could count on just sitting up all night

because I could *not* lie down and go to sleep. It would be very unpleasant

and trigger irregular heartbeats.

Now, if I make dinner plans I make them with friends who eat early, too. We

meet at 5 and I am home at 7. I know, sounds like Golden Girls.

I can assure everyone that food type has a connection as does amount

and time of eating .It is vital if you have early " lone AF " that you

modify you diet to get as healthy as possible.The general idea of

healthy , may not do the job.
