There is no one cause of atrial fibrillation, although it is associated with many conditions, including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and heart valve disease.
In at least 10% of cases of atrial fibrillation, no underlying heart disease is found. In these cases, atrial fibrillation may be related to alcohol or excessive caffeine use, stress, certain drugs, electrolyte or metabolic imbalances, severe infections, or genetic factors. In some cases, no cause can be found.
Energy drinks can contain large amounts of caffeine. Super-size the ounces and you super-size the amount of caffeine.
Has your cardiologist advised you to limit or avoid caffeine? Considering your experience, I think you should.
