Hi, Lawrence,

I have been struggling with digestive/acid reflux/burping stuff

causing extra beats, etc. lately, and a night or so ago I suddenly

felt quite sick to my stomach out of the blue and then my heart went

nuts. It went back into sinus immediately when I sat up. So maybe

this is digestive causes afib, rather than pending afib causes

digestive?

I have never had " sickness " -> afib like this happen before, although

it seems to me that I have read about it in here.

I ascribed the sick feeling to too much flaxseed oil, as I am still

trying to bring burping under control with it. I have an appointment

with my acucpuncturist/MD this afternoon to see what he says about

that.

I have the feeling that if I could get the digestive stuff under

control, my heart would be calmer.
