I may have taken an overdose I’m in and out of AF and once I take magnesium, it goes away within the hour and I’m back to nsr. 8:30am I took my morning multaq 9:30am I took my morning Eliquis Just now at 12:30pm by mistake I took instead of my Prilosec, I took my evening dose of Eliquis that was in the pill cubby. The dosing was 3 hours apart. Did I overdose? Skip tonight’s Eliquis until 9:30 tomorrow morning? Risk of brain bleeding? It’s Sunday so I cannot call dr Natale’s office. Hubby the pharmacist doesn’t know. I called poison control and a pharmacist said it’s ok and not to take tonight’s dose and wait until tomorrow at 9:30am because at my age -68- the half life should be 15 hours. If I hit my head then go to the ER. It’s being in and out of AF I want to be protected. Maybe I wasn’t in AF- Kardia says yes, then no, then yes, iWatch said nsr so I took it again and the reading flip flopped to AF. My Afibalert says AF. Very steady 60-70 hr but no P wave that I can see. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175829#msg-175829 Fri, 23 Oct 2026 08:46:24 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175929#msg-175929 Re: I may have taken an overdose https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175929#msg-175929

Yes.

So glad all worked out well for you! Did you have your procedure done in La Jolla? (tu)

No, Dr Natale is at Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA Wednesday-Friday once a month. He starts his CA trip Monday- Tuesday in La Jolla. I like Los Robles. Small hospital in the sticks north of Los Angeles. Every room is a private bed. I had it done in TO.]]> susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 06 Jul 2020 02:51:49 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175841#msg-175841 Re: I may have taken an overdose https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175841#msg-175841 SueChef AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 06 Jul 2020 02:32:40 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175833#msg-175833 Re: I may have taken an overdose https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175833#msg-175833 susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 05 Jul 2020 20:50:46 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175832#msg-175832 Re: I may have taken an overdose https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175832#msg-175832 susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 05 Jul 2020 20:49:24 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175830#msg-175830 Re: I may have taken an overdose https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175830#msg-175830
As for not seeing P waves, good luck ever seeing a P wave with a device that measures from your fingers. At least with a Kardia they're almost never visible unless you do the lead II method of measuring off your left knee and right thumb, but even then they can be hard to see. So not seeing P waves really doesn't mean anything.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 05 Jul 2020 20:41:55 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175829#msg-175829 I may have taken an overdose https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,175829,175829#msg-175829 8:30am I took my morning multaq
