https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/pool-training-and-technique/26732/a-fib-cold-waterI have noticed lately that when I swim when our pool is cold (75) that my A-fib seems to act up more. Anyone else?en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/291757?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 04 Sep 2021 18:33:28 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:fdb2db46-41ac-4482-813e-46eb3cbb31457N8TJ<p>If you consume caffeine and alcohol daily, I would begin by moderating both. Not eliminating, but moderating the quantity of each.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/291508?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 03 Jul 2021 14:42:51 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b4f7e50d-628d-45d4-ab01-cf7caaa047f702ER5<p>Well, I had A fib and I still had a high heart beat in April at 190, so medication was increase in dosage. It was not A fiv at least. It was hyperthyroid issues that caused the a fib.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/280502?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 07 Feb 2021 12:20:53 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b24cbea2-fcc9-46ba-8ada-03dedc9842aeKurt DicksonI guess it could. Two common correctable precipitants: alcohol bingeing and cold drinks and food (cold drink heart in about 10 percent).<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/280500?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 04 Feb 2021 03:54:36 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:741e189d-9f12-4cf2-b72e-69ed55d80f20aztimmI actually found the cool water better for training when my A-fib was flaring up. I had a cardioversion procedure about 1-1/2 year ago and I&#39;ve been mostly back to normal since.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/280499?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 03 Feb 2021 08:58:54 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b5cbbaa6-376c-4613-a2dc-893f2f6269ffjackbacki had episodic a-fib for 11 years and swimming was never the trigger and i swam in some cold pools. my cardiologist and i could never figure out the trigger. they started getting more frequent and 5 years ago i had a cardiac ablation and have been a-fib free since. no meds no thinners (other than a low dose ASA). i consider myself a lucky one as initial ablation doesn&#39;t always work<div style="clear:both;"></div>
