Just recently diagnosed with tako tsubo in reverse. I was hospitalized 3 times with a-fib in the past 5 yrs. Does a-fib have anything to do with tako tsubo? as all episodes began in the same way; sweating really bad (like pouring sweat) and freezing then became super sick. Blood pressure was way up and then go back down. Could I have both? is that possible? lIVING IN A STRESSFUL HOUSEHOLD, MY 40 NYR OLD SON lives with us for the past 2 yrs. (going thru an awful divorce) His 2 girls are here for 1/2 week. I do it all shop, cook, clean with hardly any help from him. I have a hard time asking to clean room. Love my girls but feel he takes advantage of me and my husband. Called primary dr. today to see if she could provide me with Ativan for sleep and stress, will call back tomorrow. Anything else u can think of to lower my stress levels? Have a lot of hobbies and am a snowbird for 3 mos. ready to go end of month. It will be great to relax.thank u
Hello, I do not think that AF has to do with takotsubo. Takotsubo itself has to do with a lot of stress causing it.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
