Quotehwkmn05 Adrenatone has a few of what is in Cortisol manager* in lower amounts. The C and B are virtually useless for mg amounts. Large doses of C, 3-5 grams, control adrenals also. I will get a list to compare later. Good start. Hope it works. Hwkmn05, I am rereading everything this morning and think I might have missed your post. What are you referencing with the C and B items? Alsoby beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
So, a rather strange occurance last night. I have been in NSR since Tuesday, was out all day with the family yesterday. Once I got home and sat down, I could tell something wasn’t quite right. I pulled out my Kardia device and confirmed I was out of NSR. While taking the ECG, I actually saw myself convert, I then went in and out of NSR two more times in the matter of a few minutes.

Call it what you may, distrust, fear, thickheadedness, but I am going to do everything within my power to stay off the pharmaceuticals. I am viewing this as a symptom rather than an issue itself. I am really aiming on finding the root cause of the problem which seems to be a chemical imbalance. I think now that I am aware of what was happening previously in my life when my heart was racing, eby beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I just wanted to reach out to say thank you so much to everyone for their advice and insight. I had previously looked into the Buteyko Breathing technique, but had not really made it a priority. Since I am going to keep my supplements static over the next month I figure I’ll concentrate on reading and researching breathing this month. The thought of taping my mouth shut terrifies me a bit, buby beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
Prior to being diagnosed with Afib in the end of March I generally didn’t take anything, pain meds, cold medicine, vitamins, supplements, etc. Now I am on a whole host of supplements, but still no pain meds. Regarding the over hydration, I tried cutting back to 100oz/day for a week or so, but that only lead to symptoms of dehydration. I would always have a cotton mouth, felt slightly weakby beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
No, but my BP is 105/70 and my sodium levels are normal. Doesn’t that usually go along with high bp and High sodium levels too?by beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
So my Adrenocortex test came back. My Cortisol levels are elevated slightly, but my DHEA numbers are way above max level (dr said too much of a good thing). Between that and some other tests being out of whack a bit he suggested a few other supplements. The tests of concern were: DHEA (955) DHEA: Cortisol ratio/10,000 (2,705) HS CRP (2.9), range 1.0-3.0 LP PLA2 ACTIVITY (147), range less tby beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I am drinking somewhere in the range of 200oz of water a day. I used to drink ~80-100 oz of Powerade zero and 100 oz of water in addition, but cut that out because of the art sweeteners. Some of the drs have suggested that is too much while others are not concerned at all. Electrolytes are fine based on blood tests though.by beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I’m actually going back this afternoon for the spot test results. What supplements did your doc put you on and what dosages. I’d love to share with the doc.by beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I will try to keep this up to date as things progress. I am going to try adding potassium in as well incrementally to see if that helps. The only sure fire way I have been able to snap back into NSR is to workout/train at martial arts.by beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM

I am 6’ tall and do lift so I am in fairly good shape, but not a pro athlete. I am trying to grind that down to 225 at least, but we will see. I was prescribed the blood thinners, but they want me to stop any martial arts in order to do so. That really isn’t of interest to me at all. I haven’t taken any of the prescribed pharmaceuticals at all. I am not trying to be thick headed, I just realby beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thank you very much for the insight. I will check out the podcasts and try increasing my magnesium dosage. Nasal breathing is extremely difficult for me, but I will try it out. I did see and ENT specialist who gave me a surgical option, but she told me the only way that would be approved was if I failed using a CPAP machine.by beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
I am a 35 year old male who has had his battles with weight, but currently sit at about 240. I exercise 5-10 hours a week and have been training to become a police officer for the past year or so (not much hiring around here). My workouts at times increased upwards of 20 hours a week. Every 6 months I need to renew my medical approval forms and since I wasn't due for a full physical myby beardman - AFIBBERS FORUM
