Re: Vitamin E as blood thinner? - 1 year ago
Thanks to all of you who replied to my inquiry. Your comments are extremely helpful and I will definitely rethink taking a blood thinner. When I take Aikido classes I usually get a bit bruised but have never been hit in the head which is my biggest concern if I take a blood thinner. I have taken your very knowledgeable comments to HEART.by aikidorobbins - AFIBBERS FORUM
Vitamin E as blood thinner? - 1 year ago
My major form of exercise is a martial art so I am opposed to taking blood thinners because I would have to give it up and that would profoundly effect my quality of life. I have wondered if vitamin E 400+IU might be used as a blood thinner. Has anyone tried it? My cardiologist leans more in the direction of ablation or traditional blood thinners.by aikidorobbins - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Sleep position - 1 year ago
I have experienced an onset of AF when sleeping on my left side especially if I detect acid reflux or indigestion. I have noticed these conditions can trigger an AF episode. I used to take probiotics for many years but stopped about 6 months ago due to bloating. I still get AF about every 4-6 weeks and it lasts for 1-4 hours and I take 50mg of metroprolol. Sleeping on my right side or supine posiby aikidorobbins - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: What kind of magnesium is better ? - 2 years ago
My cardiologist recommends Magnesium Glycinate. I take Nature Bell 500MG caps along with Pure Mag. Glyc. 120MG caps after breakfast. I take another Pure 120MG cap after lunch. That split dose is fine with my Dr. but you should check about the amount you should be taking. Some folks can get diarrhea from high dose Mag. I also learned from this website that there may be some connection between a-fby aikidorobbins - AFIBBERS FORUM

Metroprolol - 2 years ago
Has anyone tried a daily prophylactic dose of Metroprolol before bedtime? My cardiologist tells me it "may" help prevent an A-fib episode. Thank you to those who responded to my question about watchman vs ablation.by aikidorobbins - AFIBBERS FORUM

What works for me so far.... - 2 years ago
I was diagnosed with paroxysmal AF in 2017. My episodes have occurred, on average, about once a month, lasting about an hour with a few episodes lasting up to 7 hours. However, beginning 8/31/23, I've had no episodes until this morning. I took 50mg of Metroprolol and in an hour I was back to normal heart rhythm. That said, I hope it will be helpful for me to share what I have been doing tby aikidorobbins - AFIBBERS FORUM
