Re: Do you trust generic Eliquis sold online or in Mexican pharmacies? - 1 year ago
I would guess many factors could be involved surrounding Medicare and the cost. Does he have a Part D plan? Depends on IF it is an Advantage Plan, usually 0.00 cost or a plan that has a reasonable monthly premium. Some pharmacies prefer a 30 day supply vs 90 day as the insurance company reduces their reimbursement, or so I was told, and for a small town family owned pharmacy with great sby Qwackertoo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: My successful dietary method has been simplified; and experiments show how an important aspect works - 1 year ago
Very interesting. I will have to re-read this, a lot of info to digest in a quick read thru. The calcium affect, I recently, Oct thru early Jan, was popping lots of Tums, extra strength, for a new symptom of seemingly "burping air" from my esophagus region, didn't seem to help. But I did chew many per day during that time frame and wound up with a few afib episodes and even aby Qwackertoo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Self Care Additions + Lifestyle Items - 1 year ago
Wondering on a few things, as it seems they don't tell you much and everything I have learned is on my own. Neither the Cardiologist or EP. They never told me what to avoid . . . whether it be OTC cold medications or OTC pain relievers or even antibiotics when they were necessary. I've eliminated several "lifestyle" triggers on my own after reading, not from them. Soby Qwackertoo - AFIBBERS FORUM

calvin, Wow 9 seconds and 18 seconds. Especially the 18 seconds. Great to hear you are doing so much better. Between the years of Covid and staying home and doing mostly nothing and now these past 2 years with afib I feel like I'm missing out on things and worried about travel etc. I do worry too much, always have and this hasn't helped.by Qwackertoo - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Threshold Considerations for Treatment(s) for Afib? - 1 year ago
Thank you very much GeorgeN. I appreciate the reply and I will definitely check out the list and bookmark it for possible future use. I do feel they pressured me into the Implanted Heart Monitor after one visit with the EP after referral from Cardio then he quickly advanced to Pacemaker pressure 2 years ago. I felt like he was more of a salesman for Boston Scientific. I know, that is bad to sby Qwackertoo - AFIBBERS FORUM
Threshold Considerations for Treatment(s) for Afib? - 1 year ago
I've done lots of reading here and also visited many of the links that have been posted. What do most of the EP's, Cardiologist and especially sufferers of Afib consider to be thresholds to meet before certain treatments? Ablation - paroxsymal, once every 2-3 months only @ night for 2 or so hours? Or worse? Pacemaker - with both Brady and Afib when does one consider this optioby Qwackertoo - AFIBBERS FORUM
