Why are you doing different sorts of fasting? If you have experience (as George does) making sure your electrolytes are balanced, you ought not to do any fasting. You’ve had enough episodes of going into Afib, especially with different fasting schedules, to stop and asses your situation. There is a wealth of information on this site that will shed and/or guide you on what supplements are cruby Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM
Adequate sleep, lots of good water, magnesium Glycinate, and Malate to bowel tolerance. Meditation also helps to keep stress levels down. I take 1,000 mg of Taurine 2 x’s a day along with magnesium and a long list of other supplements. I also drink LS V-8 in the a.m. and p.m....loaded with potassium. I have always suspected hormones might play a role with ectopics, especially with womenby Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM

There has to be more to the story. Why not cardioversion or ablation? Perhaps he has some pre-existing condition that offers him no alternatives.by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM
Tango, i have experienced heart palpitation since childhood. Now they happen if: I”m inordinately stressed: too much caffeine, sleep deprived, and dehydrated. I guzzle down a large can of Low Sodium V8 (potassium) and at least 400 mg of Magnesium; preferably Magnesium taurate. This dose is over and above my regular dose of Magnesium Glycinate and Malate. Daily I also take 2000 mg of Tby Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM

I have been taping my mouth for the past three months. Should you decide to go that route, your local drugstore sells paper tape which makes peeling it off in the morning easier and less painful. I go one step further, I cut off an appropriate length and tape it onto the back of my hand for a few minutes to make the glue less tacky. Youtube has information on “mouth taping”by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM

Thanks, George. I think I’ll take him to Mass General for a second opinion. Thanks, Elizabeth, I went to the pacemaker website and registered.

Shannon. honestly, if digital probing converted me to sinus rhythm, I would find a way. Either I’m skipping a beat or this article should be re-written. I am a newcomer to the miseries of this syndrome and very impressionabe to the various merhods written about or discussed to convert one to sinus. I need to take them with grain.by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM
Congestive heart diagnosis is a serious diagnosis. I gather he determined this without any further testing?by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM
The “ncbi” link is interesting. Two criteria for cardioversion for the 29 y.o.; one, patient has to be on anti-coagulant and two, a digital rectal exam to eliminate occult blood. The patient converts. The article, however, does not commit to the digital exam as the only way to convert to sinus because the patient was also put on a beta blocker.

Jackie. if I had the courage, I would spin off Warfarin as I don’t think it is a benign medication, as well. I have akways relied on diet, supplements and lifestyle changes versus drugs to treat my cancers and now my AFib.

Carey, go back and read the OP’s post and stop inserting your script into what YOU think has happened to him. I don’t appreciate your accusing me of “fear mongering” and censoring the forum. Instead, I would have hoped you would have addressed some of the points I made; for example, you bandy about the positive research and data, etc. on a drug that is comparatively new, and you express no coby Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM

Kate, don’t freak out, we’re all in the same boat. I can’t speak for the others, but even though I’m into my third year with P- AFib, still, having it inexplicably come on freaks me out.

Life altering because it prevents clots (strokes); life threatening because of bleeding as in the OP’s case.by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM
...besides, why would any drug company release a life altering/threatening medication first then years later an antidote? Greed? FDA approved Eliquis in 2012; Andrexxa, the antidote, approved in 2018. Really?by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM
The data at this juncture is unreliable. Eliquis has not been around long enough to yield dependable data, whereas my INR nurse has patients in their eighties who’ve been on Coumadin for 20-30 years.by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM

“Second, Eliquis is safer than warfarin. There is no "big pharma" conspiracy here.” That’s your opinion. Just its prohibitive price speaks volumes.by Catherine - AFIBBERS FORUM
How about good ‘ol Warfarin - an anti coag that’s been around for umpteen years. This garbage that pharma hypes about not being able to eat certain foods while on Warfarin is just that - garbage. They don’t like us to pay next to nothing for an effective, long track record drug.
