Most importantly - taking these supplements has no effect on NSR or AF and QCT is reported to lower BP. The other well know ionophore does mess with QRS so this is a solid possibility for us fibbers.by NotLyingAboutMyAfib - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
All usual caveats. But this is what I am doing. On top of CDC recommendations and social distancing we are taking the following supplements; quercetin, bromelain, zinc and copper. Here are the basic reasons why and an explanation as boiled down as I can make it. Covid-19 has a ‘key’ that fits into human cells and allows the virus to replicate. Supplementing zinc and taking a zinc ionoby NotLyingAboutMyAfib - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Had first bike ride since ECV. When in AF, HR was about 75 typically. Now in NSR 61. When riding the bike in AF, HR was easy up to 145-150. Riding at the same speeds and today (an easy ride) never got above 107. Bottom line, an NSR heart is way more efficient than an AF one. Doing everything I can to avoid AF and stay in NSR.by NotLyingAboutMyAfib - AFIBBERS FORUM
I had a cardioversion Wednesday AM - now in NSR. I'm noticing a little bit of sensation (not really pain) that if I had to guess would be maybe my heart retraining itself to beat normally? Does this sound right? Hoping this NSR sticks - thanks.by NotLyingAboutMyAfib - AFIBBERS FORUM
I will be taking MulTaq on a regular basis and try to wean off of it in a few months. Right now my primary concern is not going back into AF until heart is 'trained' to NSR again. AFAIK there's no taking PIP flecainide if I am on MulTaq. I have a high CAC score so Flecainide isn't the best drug even though I tried and tolerated it for a month.

To all out there, I want to say that Steve is a genuine healer. He patiently worked with me for over a month as I made adjustments and got labs done but at the end of the day my persistent AF was just too.... looking for the right word.... PERSISTENT! Despite it not breaking my AF, I am using Steve's concepts to hopefully maintain my NSR and give my heart a chance to retrain itseby NotLyingAboutMyAfib - AFIBBERS FORUM
Age 57 - first AF event at 56. High level (Olympic class athlete) for 8+ years. I believe my AF has multiple contributors: pericardial fat, OSA, (now on CPAP and declining hsCRP levels for last 8 months) and possibly some one-off use of an energy drink in May 2019 - a few weeks before 1st (noticed) event or use of an appetite suppressant previously tolerated and loosely managed hypertby NotLyingAboutMyAfib - AFIBBERS FORUM
Basically 5 AF events a month apart from June 2019 - Oct 2019. In October went into persistent AF, had first cardioversion this AM. Currently in NSR for first time in months. Taking MulTaq 400mg 1X daily and Met Suc 50mg 1X daily and Eliquis 5mg 2X daily. Goal now is to stay in NSR as long as possible and avoid having to have an ablation.
