Electrolyte imbalance

Electrolytes help regulate heart rhythm. Changes in sodium, potassium, or magnesium levels may increase susceptibility to Afib episodes. Imbalances can occur due to dehydration, illness, diet changes, or certain medications. Tracking symptoms alongside these factors may help you recognize whether shifts in hydration or nutrition are contributing to your episodes.
