Been there once. Alcohol (not much though), stress and lack of water in the system are what i think did me dirty. I was 40 iirc. Docs were asking me how bad my coke habit was. I was like mother****er test me for anything you want, i've never touched the stuff! After getting shocked back into rhythm I became a true believer in adequate water every day. Your heart is an electrical appliance. Screw up your electrolyte balance and bad things can happen. At least that's how i understood it.
it is very common and of course the danger is blood clotting when the ticker is fluttering instead of pumping. Metoprolol is, or at least was for me, a supremely beneficial drug. I learned that stress isn't always obvious and can be very, very sneaky. It hides in the back of our minds. That's where the metoprolol, for me at least, fixed things. It slowed everything around me down to the point i could easily see and comprehend and work with it.
I've long since been taken off the beta blocker and thinner and no repeat AFIB (at least that i know of) but i won't be sorry to go back on metoprolol one day.
