Do Severe Gastritis And Esophagitis Cause Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation?
Hello, I am a 32 year old male with no heart related problems in the past. Had a stress test one year ago and past with flying colors. I recently had an incident of atrial fibrillation randomly. I converted spontaneously after 1.5 hours. A week later I went in for a previously scheduled EGD and it was found that I had sever gastritis and esophagitis and positive for h.pylori. I am curious if Severe gastritis and esophagitis can cause paroxysmal atrial fibrillation? Thank you!
