I have been on Diltiazem and Metaprolol since 2014 when my Afib started. I agree with Dr. Joel Wallach that Afib is caused by nerves getting mashed with T-4 in your spine. I have been taking a long list of supplements for years. The side effect is no colds, flu or seasonal allergies.
I exercise regularly and am a non-smoker. I do need to lose 70 lbs though. Six five at 275 lbs.
The last week of October 2020, I got an extended Afib episode. My pulse was 150 or was 72 with pauses after 2-6 beats. I switched to Flecainide 50 mg sodium blocker morning and night and stopped the Metaprolol 25 mg beta blocker morn and eve. Everything was great for two weeks, then symptoms returned.
I started taking Saffron 20mg once in morning for vision improvement and my pulse went to normal. No pauses or tach.
I stopped drinking carbonated drinks. Bone Broth was added along with increased neck traction, back massage and increased Chiropractic care.
Non alcoholic beer did not help me.
