A UK television programme called "This Morning" recently had a doctor talk about Atrial Fibrillation and he mentioned that drinking coffee ( not lots of it, everything in moderation ) could help regulate the heart rhythm in people with AFib.

I'm not a coffee drinker myself and haven't been for years. And, because of the AFib and the SVT there's no way I would try it.

I drink coffee. I am in afib before the cup and in afib after the cup. Only difference is that I am a happier and perkier afib victim after the cup. Afib is a sort of vampire which lives on the intrusive changes one makes in one's life in response to the condition. The more you live your life as normally as you can, the greater is the suffering of the afib demon. Or something like that.

It's a pity there's no such person as Dr Van Helsing then, he could sort the AFib demon out once and for all

I always drink decaf and find normal coffee makes my heart even more jumpy. Are you in permanent a.fib as I am, what meds do you find help? I'm on metoprolol to keep rate down but nothing to keep it regular. Does it worry you too much being in constant jumpy! All the best.

I'm a confirmed (green) tea drinker but once coffee has proved efficacious for a thousand ailments, I may well start drinking coffee.
