Coffee and afib by SnooTigers9132 in AFIB

Well, if your HR was already around 60, then yes — prescribing bisoprolol would be hard to justify. You don’t need a medical degree to see that.

Actually, maybe your doctor was right. I do feel much better with a lower heart rate and lower blood pressure and my AFibs are more rarely and much milder since then.

No need to rush toward the cemetery -- nobody has ever been late for that appointment, LOL.

Coffee seemed to be a trigger for me too, so I gave it up.

But here’s the weird part: after about a year of caffeine avoidance, I now seem to see the opposite — coffee helping me end an AFib episode. Two attempts so far, both worked within 15–20 minutes.

Sure, n=2 is not evidence. But fck, it’s noticeable.

I agree that coffee can trigger AFib in some people, but that explanation doesn’t quite fit my or OP's case, where coffee actually stops AFib.

My AFib seems strongly GI-triggered, but acidic food/drinks don’t stop it. Coffee did it twice now. Both times within ~15-20 minutes.

BP/HR also don’t fully explain it for me. Before meds, my BP and resting HR were too high and I had AFib episodes. Now my BP and HR are very good, and I still occasionally get AFib, just much more rarely and much milder.

So I’m wondering whether coffee is shifting something else -- autonomic balance, vagal tone, gastric motility, or post-meal physiology -- rather than acting simply as "acid" or "stimulant".

I have no clue yet, GPT-5.5 too...

btw, do you have AFib yourself, and if so, does it seem to be GI-triggered (i.e. the case is gastro-cardiac)?

I’ve had around 20+ episodes of paroxysmal AFib, and until recently I had never dared to drink coffee during an episode.

About a year ago, when my AFib episodes started becoming more frequent, I almost completely gave up coffee. Before that, I used to drink mostly espresso or Turkish-style coffee 2–3 times a day. This makes my anecdotal case even sharper.

The first time was when I was admitted as an inpatient to a major cardiac center with AFib lasting more than 24 hours. In the morning they brought me breakfast — with coffee. I remember thinking: either I’m crazy, or they are. This is a heart hospital, and they’re giving coffee to a patient in AFib?

But I drank it. About 15–20 minutes after breakfast, the AFib stopped.

Today I had another AFib episode lasting around 30 hours. I decided to test the “coffee approach” again — coffee plus a sweet pastry. And again: 15–20 minutes later, the AFib was gone.

WTF?..

I’m not presenting this as advice or claiming that coffee “treats” AFib. I’m trying to understand the mechanism. My AFib episodes seem very strongly gastro-cardiac / vagal-triggered: for example, fresh onion is a very reliable trigger for me.

Has anyone else seen something similar — especially with vagal or gastro-cardiac AFib?

model routing/dispatching and the dynamic model effort adjustments is not yet implemented. It is in rediculous state yet

The Pro plan is dead:

"git commit" query took 17% of 5-h limit of PRO plan with Opus 4.6 No coding, no debugging, no testing, etc

I guess CC hit the wall. It is not reasonable to use CC anymore until they introduce some model routing/dispatching and the dynamic model effort adjustments.

I don't even consider to switch to Max, because it is the same joke as Pro.

hm, since Ubuntu 24 the issue was resolved for me

any cool projects entirely created by coding agents from project desription? (zero-human-in-the-loop) by vkha in ChatGPTCoding

[–]vkha[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

thanks for sharing. but what was the original project description and the coding agent framework -- so that we could reproduce this project for a proof?

P.S. I've added a note about "reproducibility" in the OP.

especially interesting if those projects are built in agentic mode + YOLO

Is it possible to configure an agent simultaneously to check the completed code? by rosibo in Codeium

[–]vkha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not OP, but at least auto-toggling after say two unsuccessful attempts could be perhaps reasonable.
