3: Does anyone have experience taking the European herb Strohanthus? I understand it keeps the heart in a steady rhythm and does this by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

Some of us have noticed the opposite. I found that even a modest dose of a good quality fish oil gave me PACs. Some others mentioned the same. You might want to do a search and read others’ experience.Quote
The article mentioned that large clinical studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acids have an anti-arrhythmic efficacy. (Has anyone heard this, too?)

Carey,
I have mild a-fib and have been on 50 mg Metroprolol tartrate -prn ('as needed') for 3 years. I've also been on Xarelto, 20 mg daily, as an anticoagulant. I'd like to get off the Xarelto and use alternative sources for blood thinning. Taking the Xarelto AND a decent daily intake of fish oils thins my blood too much (spontaneous capillary breakage/ bruises).

I'd like to lower my Xarelto to 15 mg /day but my cardiologist says all adults should have 20 mg.
