Does Whey Shake Or Lifting Heavy Weights Cause Atrial Fibrillation?

My husband was just diagnosed with atrial fribrillation. There are certain circumstances that have always occured when he has had these episodes. They are usually after he has not gotten proper rest after he has drunk some glasses of wine. He has also had episodes after lifting heavy weights and drinking a whey shake. Is it possible these are triggers for him?

No,this cant lead to atrial fibrilation but it may raise heart rate and cause chest pain and some other arrihmias but atrial fibrilation is somethign else and it cant be provoked on this way. however, you should consult cardiologist before doing some exercises.
