Tip of the Month

Staying hydrated is one of those simple things that’s easy to overlook, but it can make a noticeable difference in how your body feels day to day. When you don’t drink enough fluids, your body has to work a bit harder to maintain balance, and for some people with atrial fibrillation, that can make symptoms feel more noticeable or uncomfortable. It doesn’t mean dehydration will always trigger an episode, but many people find they feel worse on days they haven’t had enough water especially during busy days, warmer weather, or after caffeine. Keeping a steady intake of fluids throughout the day is a small, simple habit that can help your body stay more balanced and may reduce how intense symptoms feel.
