My Viagra experiment

As most of you know I was ablated last 8/21, so far so good! no afib.......recently I asked my MD (a female) to try a little Viagra, honestly I do not have to have it but thought a little might be "fun"......she gave me the script.....got to the pharmacy....103 bucks for three tabs! I of course was shocked.......turns out the pharmacy asked if I had ever had it before....no......so anyway I got the first 3 free! 100 MG....MD said try half.....I took a quarter..........I have walked the afib tightrope with no net before and got burned....so I was a little nervous.....that night I took the 1/4.....within 15 mins I lit up like a Christmas Tree! and my HR went to 87...I got panic-eee....not real condusive for what I was hoping for...............

Anyway no afib but I learned a bit...........no more viagra

Maybe your anxiety made your BP go up. A bpm of 87 isn't going to hurt you. Your still alive, eh ?

If you exercise regularily and get you HR higher than that, then you shouldn't worry too much. But I've tried it before too and took 1/2 a tab and that was plenty (for the desired effect ). Actualy it gave me a nasty headache the next morning.

Stuffs up your nose too, but worth it (maybe...)

Tom,

I looked at the properties of viagra and cialis 8 years ago. As I recall they will give your either a vagolytic or promote a sympathetic response (I don't remember which). So they might be beneficial for a vagal afibber in this regard and contraindicated for an adronergic one. As I posted in your original question, former poster Gunnar from Sweden used cialis as a part of his afib remission program.

OK update on Viagra, I have now found that just a small peice works great! 1/8 or even less......I like it and makes total sense that may be good for vagal which I was (am)....little higher HR and lower BP..........T

you men are sooo funny with your viagra stories, glad im a woman!

Janet if it were not for you women we would'nt need viagra! it's all your fault

My only experience with Viagra was when I was in hospital. They gave it to me to keep me from rolling off the bed.
