Has anyone noticed Afib/Ecotpics if they are watching something intense or feeling intense emotion?

I notice that my Afib or ectopics always happen not when i'm exercising or active but when I'm sitting down and thinking, watching something or talkin to someone with "emotional intensity" plus I'm very tired. I guess that could be the triggers then right? Like high tide emotional intensity which causes a surge of adrenaline in my blood which causes my heart to go off rhythm for a few seconds until I breath myself out of it. Also is it possible to have such a short Afib attack, if you are talking, talking, talking and are not taking the time to breath properly. Could that be a way to remove the additional CO2 that builds up to restore the 02 balance in your blood. I notice when I'm talking( I talk a lot for my business) and have an active social life but sometimes forget to breath as well properly and hence get winded after hours and hence I might have an Afib eposide. It's almost like it's correcting the CO2 build up and removing it. This also happened to me last year when I was watching Apocalypto and I was so intensely into this one scene as if I was already there. Appreciate if you can quickly just give me your 2 cents.

Greetings from England
There seem to be many triggers for ectopics and that they come out of the blue seems to be a common theme. Whether it is because of something we are doing at the time, or it was triggered by something we did an hour or more ago is something we don't know.
It seems to happen more to people who are anxious and prone to stress and i read one report that mentioned panic attacks.
Which then opens the interesting question that something like shingles is caused by stress, so if you have had that in the past-or IBS-then perhaps you are more prone to ectopics?
I have read in various reports that yoga and meditation helps, as does breathing calmly which is the exact opposite of the excitable adrenaline fuelled episodes you describe above.
So in your circumstances-but perhaps not with other people-you may have identified the problem and the solution, and might find it beneficial to look at the means to calm your activities-yoga, meditation etc
