This can be applicable to AF as well if it is sympathetically triggered.
I've found my to be parasympathetically triggered, so doing the above (called a vagal maneuver) can actually kick me into an episode. As can bending over, or indigestion as they all stimulate the vegus nerve.
Sympathetically triggered people can also be set off by booze, as it's a stimulant.
Luckily for me, I think being hammered actually prevents me from slipping into arrhythmia... haha.
