Large meals

Eating a large or heavy meal may trigger Afib symptoms in some people, particularly in the evening. Overeating can increase pressure in the abdomen and stimulate the vagus nerve, which may influence heart rhythm. Logging when you have larger meals alongside your symptoms may help you identify whether this is a trigger for you.
