AFIB Initiated By Stress?

79 years. PM implanted 8 weeks ago.

Yesterday the doc said I had AFIB for 40 hours, 4 weeks ago. I had walked seven miles, some of it uphill. I do not remember the temperature, but it was warm and dry. Typical for Arizona in early June. I did not notice any abnormal heart action then or the day thereafter.

Is this unusual? AFIB initiated by physical stress?

He prescribed Propafenone and scheduled a stress test next week.

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
