I came across a product from Australia named Cavadex which offers a unique method of reducing plaque in the arteries resulting in better blood flow, less angina, better cholesterol + lipid numbers, as well as other heart benefits. Has anyone ever heard of or used this product? If it's legitimate it's a game changer for heart health. Dr. James Roberts, who is on the website, has produby ama1952 - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
I've always been encouraged by my physicians to take a generous amount Omega 3 fish oils to help with cardiovascular issues. Recently, to my surprise I came across a couple of articles published in 2021 which discuss 2 separate studies that indicate that taking Omega 3 Fish Oils may not be a good idea when it comes to AFIB: 1. The first study warns that taking more than 1 gram of Omega 3by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I've found that using a "White Noise Machine" which you can find cheap on Amazon is often helpful with that problem. It produces sounds that drown out the pulse noise but also allows you to fall asleep. As Carey had mentioned you also need to determine if your blood pressure reading is high when this occurs. If yes, then working on lowering your blood pressure could solve the isby ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hi Lynn, Saw your message + I will try to contact you during the upcoming week. I have written down your phone number so you can remove it from your post. I agree with GeorgeN that it's not a good idea to leave it published since there are some bad people out there.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Acupuncture with or without electrical stimulation is really based on a "totally different set of principles" from the Tens Unit I refer to in this post. I have used acupuncture (with + without electrical stimulation) as well as acupressure in the past years trying to deal with Afib problems and they had never worked for me.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
If you're referring to the Tens Unit device in my other post, the answer is "No", I did not use it during the 1 Afib attack I experienced in my 6 month trial period. The reason I did not use it was- According to the study I copied from U. of Oklahoma Medical their unit was not affective in stopping or cutting short an Afib attack. Instead, it reduced the total number of attacksby ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
So the unit comes with a few square patches with a white lead... I put the square patch on my right upper are between the elbow + shoulder... The ear clip attaches to the red lead.... The white patch attaches to a black lead.... Not sure which is anode or cathode but if you follow my instructions it will work.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Also- Yes, it is used for 1 hour in a single session.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I usually sit at my computer reading topics of interest... But I also have done it many times while preparing my meals, or sitting + eating... If you're going to move around while doing it, you'll be using up a 9 volt alkaline battery, which lasts roughly between 2-3 weeks.... If you're going to sit still while using it, you can connect it to an electrical outlet and saveby ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
In the study at U. of Oklahoma Medical it was all done on the right ear.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Yes, I do it for 1 hour each day. During my first 6 month trial I missed only 1 day of doing it. In the experiment of U. of Oklahoma Medical participants could miss up to 4 hours each month and that was considered acceptable. The mode I used on my unit was called "Normal" mode. I never changed the frequency or duration.....Somewhere, I recall reading that stimulating the Vagusby ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
The study does not distinguish between "vagal type " affibers, and non vagual type affibers. It only mentions "paroxysmal type" affibers, which is a catagory I fall into.... Also, I didn't mention before that I had recommended this to my nephew, who also suffers from "paroxsymal" afib, and over the past few years he gets at least quadruple the amount of afibby ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
George, You assumed correctly. I followed the same guidelines as used in the study: Frequency- 20 hz Pulse width- 200us Stimulation amplitude- 1 Ma below mild discomfort (Some days the mild discomfort level changed a bit so I would need to increase or decrease this level at times) I've never used the Tens unit for pain so I really don't know much about that.

Thanks for noting that other study... With the Tens unit I'm using there are two points of contact: 1. First point is the earclip that attaches to the Tragus of the right ear... 2. Second point is an electro pad which I place on my upper right arm to complete the circuit.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
To the Tragus on the right ear.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
Actually, it involves attaching a tens unit to the "Tragus".which connects to the Vagus nerve... In the study done at U. of Oklahoma medical, the "sham group" had it attached to the earlobe, which does not connect to the Vagus nerve.by ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
I don't like being drugged up or cut up in my quest to find relief or even a cure for AFIB. Rather, I search for Non Invasive methods to deal with this problem. Several months ago, I came across a company in Israel named "CardiaCare" who have created an interesting device which : 1. Wraps around your wrist like a wristwatch... 2. Monitors your heart on a continuous basis for prby ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
The company is called Tens Pros. The item I purchased is "InTENSity Micro Combo TENS & Microcurrent Combination Unit" for $69.95...Part#DI9698..... The reason I chose this unit was because when you scroll down the page + look under customer reviews, there were a few folks that saw the same study I saw and they reported success when they experimented on themselves with it.

Having experienced Paroxysmal AFIB for the past 10 years, I am always looking for "Non Invasive" methods to lessen or eliminate this problem.. While I have had some success with a supplement regimen I've followed, I still have AFIB issues around 6 to 8 times a year. For the past couple of years, I've tried to purchase a product out of England called "Parasym" whichby ama1952 - AFIBBERS FORUM
