Hello Bettylou4488, I've messaged you the company. I hadn't heard about the Bradycardia association with Cannaniboids. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I searched Pubmed and found multiple instances of Bradycardia in animal studies and 3 anecdotal human case studies; one being a man who consumed 350+mg of CBD. The other two were long-standing marijuana users.by JohnG - AFIBBERS FORUM
Hi everyone, For the past few weeks, I get a feeling of tightness or hardness on my sternum /heart area. Not a constant feeling, but usually it comes up daily. All I can think to do is gently rub my sternum area. I wonder: should I take more potassium (supplement-wise, I only have the 99 mg capsules, but I now take 1 at each meal. I also use Lite Salt with 1/2 the sodium and extra potassium.by californiagal - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hi Cal Gal....well i have few suggestions Cut out the Fish oil as it is quite commonly linked to exciting your heart (eat Salmon or Sardines) Cut out the Carvedilol as this can only mask or disrupt any productive (diet + supl.) things you do.

My advice is to pay close attention to what works for you. While arginine is supposed to reduce tachycardia , it may not work that way for you. Or maybe try beet root powder or L-Citrulline which both can increase nitric oxide. Perhaps reducing the number of supplements you take, unless you've experienced a known benefit, to see if an unknown item(s) is causing issues. "I certaiby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
I think this study merits repeating often ! I've been managing an AFib/PAC condition that returned about 6 weeks ago. I have gained significant results from the combination of Taurine and L-Argenine. I need both, as other seem to also. I am also discovering not to be reserved about dosage of these amino acid supplements. I started with 2 grams/day of both and witnessed improvement, but the aby jhstark - AFIBBERS FORUM

Good, important info, George. The book, The Nitric Oxide (NO) Solution by Nathan S.

QuoteNotLyingAboutMyAfib Jackie - What are your thoughts on l-citrulline compared to l-arginine ? From what I've read the former is superior NLAMAF….

QuoteCarey I doubt a nitric oxide (NO) supplement will be a problem with Eliquis because NO is produced by almost every cell in your body. It also has an extremely short half-life measured in seconds, which is why I don't think NO supplements can possibly do anything for you. One of my friends took this beet root powder.

I did check into Neo40, but found it very expensive, especially over time. With me, the Now brand 1,000 Citrulline tablets work very well.
