See that Eliquis (apixaban) is safer ? wonder by how much?by daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
Yes, also working digestive issue. Stopped all non-fiber carbohydrates and find need 2-3 betaine HCL to process meal with meat/kale salad. Am told age (77) makes a need for more HCL to supplement, also now have to ADD salt to keep reasonable blood pressure. Down 20 pounds with 15 to go to get rid of gut that was not helping give everything inside some room.by daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
Quick(within minutes) triggers are MSG food additive and cough medicines. Medium are too much carbohydrates (ice cream) , too much coffee. Longer is being more than 40 pounds over ideal weight, which now down.by daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
I'm another who just switched from coumadin to Eliquis . Had to take ~ 50mg week coumadin to reach 2. and often had to adjust. Which means getting checkup's more often.by daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
Lindz, hello. I also had VSD in 1961 and occasional AFIB starting in 1998. This forum is a life saver. The mag, K, taurine are an absolute must for me. Do take bit of sotalol to offset bad eating habits. Good luck. Daleby daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
Decongestant cough medicine take all of 33 seconds to put me into AFIB, MSG takes longerby daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
Switching to organic really helped and 2 cups is usually enough. And never on empty stomach. Which, at a restaurant, means waiting for the meal first. Sometimes organic hard to find at restaurant.by daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
And like to add..... ginger. Started adding chunk ginger to daily veggie juicing and that seems to be why Doc had to up warfarin from 40mg WEEK to 47.5 Also another trigger that sent me on an AFIB trip: PSEUDOEPHEDRINE, decongestant. Bad bad!by daledint - AFIBBERS FORUM
