Is coffee drinking bad for people with Afib? Here’s what one study found

A few of my friends have atrial fibrillation, often referred to as Afib. This is a condition where the heart’s upper chamber beats irregularly and fast. It can cause dizziness, fatigue, chest pain and shortness of breath. It is an important condition to diagnose and treat since it increases the risk for stroke. My friends are not alone with this problem, as it is estimated that 1 in 22 adults experience Afib. This condition becomes more common with age. About 10 percent of people over age 80 will experience this condition.
