Re: Exercise causing A-fib??? - 7 weeks ago
Hi Geoff, and welcome I'm sure giving up the links in Edinburg would be stressful itself! I too am triggered by stress and adrenaline, and was given flec as a pill in the pocket remedy- it never worked for me and made me feel worse. So much information here was very helpful. Making sure my electrolytes were in balance, for me one of the best remedies. And I started taking about 500mg magnby CC - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Help with raising potassium? - 3 months ago
I had a somewhat similar situation with my last bloodwork- low potassium and high sodium. It was very confusing as I consume almost no sodium and eat tons of potassium (or so I thought, and getting enough is not easy!) Continuing my diet with lots of potassium, kiwi, nuts etc, I also added George's idea of adding potassium citrate to my water. I'm only using about 2 1/2 grams or so tillby CC - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Long Awaited Natale Consult - 4 months ago
Windyshores, I've been taking taurine for a few months now- another bit of great advice from George. My tinnitus is gone, and my fib is almost nonexistent. Only on big stress days do I get a few blips.It has also let me lower my magnesium to 400mg a day, from 600, taken 100 mg at a time through the day. I realize I'm not cured but I am hoping it was just another symptom of covid- goingby CC - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Nocturnal Patterns - 5 months ago
QuoteGeorgeN ... while I get comfortable I do George's breathing routine. As I've mentioned more than one breathing routine, I'm curious which one you are referring to? This got me thinking and I went back to look for info. This link has the post that started my playing around with breathing. When I still had covid 3 years ago I found myself sitting hunched over trying to breby CC - AFIBBERS FORUM

Re: Taurine and L Arginine - 5 months ago
I haven't tried l-argine but taurine, magnesium and potassium (and about 500mg sodium) have been part of my daily routine. Taurine, 2000mg, was the last I added and it took mine down to almost nothing within weeks. I wish I'd added it sooner. Good to hear it worked for you also!by CC - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Nocturnal Patterns - 5 months ago
George, the one I use for evening relaxing is the Wim Hof. (no shoveling snow in shorts for me though!) As a a swimmer I've used many different breathing techniques for endurance and underwater breath holding. But for relaxing I found this works great for me. I had lung problems post covid (now clear as of 6 mo ago yay) so it wasn't easy at first. I still use some of the others depeby CC - AFIBBERS FORUM
Re: Nocturnal Patterns - 6 months ago
Megan, I have been reading here for years and even created an account a while back but haven't time to introduce myself and actually comment. But your problem was one I also have. None of the meds worked for me, especially anything that would bring the heart rate down. I'm not sure which source I got this from because it's been a few years, but L-theanine has been a life saver forby CC - AFIBBERS FORUM
