Is there anyone doing research on how to induce a fib in here? I think I might've accidentally did it to myself.
To start off, I'm 34 and I was in afib for a total of 36Ish hours straight before they cardioverted me. It's been almost a month and I haven't had any other instances (yet anyway)
But to get into that persistent afib state,
I was slightly low on potassium,
had a tall boy alcoholic seltzer(6%),
had a vibrating butt plug in for a couple of hours
and the thing that set it off, drinking a slushie.
Immediately after the first sip I stayed at 130bpmish for two hours until I tried to take a shit and strain myself to impact my vagus nerve which immediately took me out of tachycardia. HR dropped to 80-110 but I remained in afib.
(There's apparently one guy who exited afib after a doctor stuck a finger up his butt and was fine with no issues at the 3 month mark)
Apparently with animal models they stimulate the cervical vagus nerve in the neck.
Meanwhile I think I overstimulated mine with just a butt plug and slushie.
Is this... Possible?
