I don’t buy it. I have had to give up coffee, tea, and cola due to Afib.
Don’t miss them like I thought I would.
Finally was able to control the Afib by adding stronger meds.
Sure is better than ablation or pacemaker.

I agree with you. I had missing heart beats. My heart would beat 9 times then miss the 10th. It is scary feeling. Caffeine accentuates the missing beat. Now I avoid caffeine as much as possible even though my heart is cured of missing beats through regular exercise. I use half caffeine coffee I found at Walmart coz I don’t like taste of decaf.

My cardiologist wants me to do an ablation because my resting heart rate is 36 and putting me on beta blockers lowers that even more. Not my favorite resolution, but one bout of a-fib is all I really want to experience.
