Atrial Fibriallation

Has anyone else suffered from this during their drinking. It appears that alcohol is a trigger. Thanks.

I auffered a lot of health problems... Most went away after I quit drinking.

Heart problems are the #1 killer of alcoholics just an FYI.

I do believe your body is giving a good jab to let you know it is TIME TO QUIT DRINKING.

Go see your doctor, follow Doctor's advice, do not attempt to detox cold turkey, ask doctor for help.

You are now in very treacherous waters and you will not be able to tread water very long.

We have lots of folks on here who are living sober and clean lives through VARIOUS programs of recovery and private counseling.

Please give sobriety a try and save your own life.

Love and hugs,

We are not allowed to give medical advice on SR but if you have been diagnosed with any health problem or having difficulties

please do have an honest talk with your doctor about your options for treatment...

Good to see you again...

Please, please go to a doctor--and don't drink. I almost lost a very dear friend (she was detoxing form a binge at home--a big no-no) from this--she collapsed on her kitchen floor and they had to bring her back to life. I don't mean to scare you, but it isn't anything to put off!

When I was still drinking, my heart would skip beats and my blood pressure was totally askew. When I quit, things returned to normal after a few weeks.
