45 Male
South Asian
5'9" tall, 185 lbs
BP normal
NO history of heart disease in the family
Both grand parents died of stroke as the result of Diabetes
Due to bad lifestyle habits
Both parents are in mid 70s, clean bill of health.
So here's my question.
I was stressed yesterday
over worked, plus
had some sugar, salty snacks(I don't usually dabble in things like that) but yesterday I did
A mars bar
Sushi but I dipped the sushi heavy in Soy Sauce with lots of MSG, Salt
Had a coffee
and I was sitting down at my desk and all of a sudden
My heart started to go haywire like erratic, irregular, fast beat and then I got up and went to the bathroom and it was back to normal.
It felt like longer than that but it was probably a 10 secon Afib thing so not bad.
The last time I had such a thing was 1 year ago so they are infrequent
Same thing I noticed last time I had this, I had eatn a greasy burger, with salty fries, coffee and was extremely stressed.
I might have Afib but I think more so I had a heart rhythm irregularity on this occassion due to all of those negative stimulants.
I wasn't experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath or even dizziness
Any idea what this could have been and if the factors I listed might have caused it? I think I know but just checking to see for reference
Thanks
