I don't know if this is of any value for your situation, but I firmly believe my two episodes of AFib were triggered by caffeine. The first and worst which lasted 39 hours straight was in Jan. 2017 a day or two after eating some very dark chocolate. The next one 15 months later in April 2018 was from the same thing. I've been 100% off anything containing even slight amounts of caffeine since then. No episodes in nearly 6 years. Whatever it is I hope you find an answer, they can be very debilitating.

Have you been on Amiodarone for a very long time? I was on it for quite a while from my first cardiologist that was pretty old school. He died from covid back in 2020. I found a new cardiologist and he took me off the Amiodarone right away and said that Amiodarone should never be used long term. He seemed to be more up to date with his knowledge. I have not had any serious episodes of afib since. I'm not sure if this applies to you or not but it might be worth discussing with your doctor or at least getting a second opinion. Good luck.
