afib hours

[Olderteen]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why afib episodes or flutters occur mostly late evening?  I had one afib episode where I went to emerg in December and since then I've been trying to map when my flutters occur.  It seems to be more so at night and that sure doesn't help with sleeping.  Also, I have read that magnesium supplements can help.  I would appreciate any info you can give me.  Thanks!

Thanks anyway for your reply!

Thanks for your help.  I'm actually looking into seeing a Naturopath because I've read a lot about other supplements.  Thanks again!

I had afib one time and it was in the morning. Mine though was deemed 'holiday heart' and attributed to alcohol. I do get pacs sometimes though and they are mostly in the morning or early evening. I usually don't have any issues after I've settled in for the night.

I haven't read anything, or experienced as I am permanent AFib, about evening only episodes.  

Questions/thoughts:
1) Does this happen every evening?
2) If not every evening, can you associate anything physical/emotional/diet that correlates?

Supplements can help if you need them.  Most of us don't.  Ask your doctor.  I get an annual physical exam which includes an extensive blood test that gives out such readings as magnesium.
