My situation is exactly like yours —exactly! afib after second shot at about 6 months out. On Eliquis an Flecainide which is a sodium channel blocker that slow your heart’s ability to conduct electricity.
The only reason I took the vax is my hubby is 76, has diabetes 2 and a minor heart issue. I really did it for him. I have a youngish cardiologist that pushed the vax —even as he told me he and his whole family have had covid and he felt they had better immunity than was had by the vax. Fancy that.....
Thanks for the info about the ivermectin being a blood thinner also. I, too, take a vitamin/zinc protocol as well as elderberry syrup, and scads more.
I was so tired for many months after that second vax and the afib. If my heart went into afib, it would go for hours and hours, keeping me awake. Even now, the afib episodes are few and far between, but I’m only now getting back to feeling a bit more normal. Had the second vax shot 2/21.
Was unaware that high blood sugar could be a reaction to the vax. I’ve lost some weight —about 20 lbs but could do a lot more. Trouble is, I’m still so tired that just walking around the house makes me want to lay my head down on my desk.
Praying for you! I wonder how many of these type of reactions are out there. Believe me, I was nice, but had a very pointed conversation with my cardiologist about this reaction to the vax. I saw him a couple weeks ago for a follow up and I don’t think he’s as gung ho on the vax as he once was —but again, I don’t know what his marching orders are from “on high” when it comes to hospital policy and what they have to “push”.

Sorry to hear about your issues with afib.
My afib differs from yours, it is constant and I'm unaware it is occurring. Do not have heart racing issues, valvular issues, and blood pressure is good. Afib for me occurs contantly, sorta like a heart beat with a hiccup, and I can not feel it happening.
It was explained to me that my type of afib just makes the heart 20-30% less efficient at pumping blood. Does make me very vulnerable to clots/strokes, blood thinners needed to reduce that risk.
Was told to never stop taking on my own, if I did would be at very high risk of having a stroke. My weight loss apparently has countered this (inefficient heart pumping) because I am experiencing zero issues even when being very physically active.
Hoping your afib issues are few and minor in the future.
I know what you mean!
I had to take the shots to keep my job.
I was a Med Tech in a nursing home.
I have been so tired ever since, that just
doing my housework sometimes feels like an
insurmountable job.
Honestly?
I could take a nap right now!
No A-Fib or high blood sugar, thank the
Good Lord for that!
feel free to Freepmail me and vent, if you
need to blow off some steam or commiserate!
Take care
