I am a 79 year old (in 2 weeks) retired ER physician and I am a rabid advocate of the health benefits of cycling. It truly works miracles and as an example I can still do 4 minute 19 second on the USAA Cycling 5 minute TT (a 4% average upgrade at 6300 foot elevation in Colorado Springs). I weigh low 170 pounds. I can't believe how good I still feel thanks to cycling BUT one area doctors never discuss (and this is huge) is alcohol and the heart. Alcohol is a potent cardiomyotoxin (meaning it is toxic to the heart muscle and causes heart muscle inflammation) but this is dose related. When I was in training I had a 23 year old die from his excessive alcohol intake causing congestive heart failure. In the ER I would see young people come in with an arrhythmia over the holidays due to excessive alcohol (thus the title "Holiday Heart"). As one gets older the risk of Atrial Fibrillation goes up logarithmically and AF can be exercise induced. AF causation is multifactorial and these precipitators make it much more likely during a ride: dehydration, low potassium, hypothermia (even drinking a smoothie can bring it on!), lack of sleep, too much caffeine, thyroid excess, and others. But no one ever seems to bring up the subject of excessive alcohol prior and the risk of AF. I love a nice red wine and this leaves me conflicted but I have found that half a bottle 2-3 days a week seems to not precipitate AF so one does not need to totally do without. My take home message to all us geriatric cycling advocates is keep all those precipitators to a minimum including alcohol and you can continue to partake of the Fountain of Youth and not need what most doctors would recommend: blood thinners or cardiac ablation!
Also, watch your heart monitor (Garmin or whatever) like a hawk and when your rate starts getting in the upper ranges just back off to keep it out of trouble. Very high rate from exertion can bring on AF. AND be sure you are not overweight because any fatty tissue on your body gives off inflammatory cytokines (signaling molecules) which leave you in a chronically inflammed state prone to AF (and cancer).
Thank you for these tips.

At 44 I’ve had two Afib episodes, both were after a weeks vacation where I was consuming 3-4 drinks a day! I’ve since learned not to overindulge while on vacation or in general and haven’t had any Afib since (5 months ago).
66.5, yes the alcohol is a another trigger. I had 1 cardioversion then a scheduled ablation. The next DAY went into AFIB again and had another cardioversion. I have been okay for 2 weeks, some minor fluttering. I will never drink alcohol again. Still working on healthy habits.
Everyone has some fatty tissue in their body, including subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is the deepest layer of skin and is present at birth. Genetics determine the amount of subcutaneous fat a person starts with.
Thank you so much, Dr. Afib!!!! I have learned so much from your videos!!! I am so disappointed that I have learned more from you on videos than my cardiologist in an office visit. Please continue with your videos because I will definitely keep watching!!!
Yes it can be reverse by changing our lifestyle .Thank you, you are an honest doctor.
Thank you Doc! My 82 year old mother has been battling a-fib for 10 years now and scheduled for last Wednesday for an ablation procedure. She tested positive for covid and procedure postponed. She fell and hit her head badly. 911 to hospital and staples. The covid meds they are giving her "steroids I think" are causing her afib to go crazy. They are going to do procedure tomorrow and I just hope she is strong enough.. your video is the best educational thing out there.. THANK YOU!!!! DOC! James
I hope your mother is doing well.
@@Mr89siR yes thank you very much! She's a tough old school Italian. Lol
I am amazed that doctors don't know that a major trigger for many of us PAF sufferers is constipation and excess trapped stomach gas. We certainly know it. Since I found that I had celiac disease and eliminated gluten, gas producing vegetables and fruits, alcohol, carbonated drinks and most caffeine, I have gone from an episode of PAF every two weeks to no episode for over 6 months.
Have you considered writing a paper or a book? It doesn't seem well documented, yet it is an issue.
@@CarolReidCA I am not medically qualified to do more than relate my own experience. There is a video with Dr. Sanjay Gupta (not the doctor on American TV) about the subject of gastric issues and Afib. If he wrote a book, I would like to be a case study for it.
Ate you on meds?
@@kimmygibson3461 I take metoprolol, Eliquis and Imdur daily. I take anti-gas meds as needed and a probiotic.
Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation…(I have recently been diagnosed with Afib and will need more than just medication) Easy to understand, extremely informative and a perfect video to share with my family and friends. Keep up the great work!
This is an excellent and thorough overview. Thank you. So few doctors give you proper information and take their time so these resources are so helpful.
You are a GOD SEND!!! Because of your info... my life has changed
Excellent video about this topic! Thank you Doctor for taking the time to make this video. You explained it so well. Thank you.👍
Thank you Dr. Afib! I hope that my irregular heartbeat will go away!
AFIB I'm just learning about, with brother getting a stroke, age 69. Other videos of Dr. AFIB people in the Comments section having great results with Magnesium. My niece seems to have it too. Looking for others to respond here. I also selected the ReMag magnesium on Amazon reviews and fabulous results with respect to AFIB.
@@nancyvogelman I don't have hypertension. But I got covid last January, and I felt palpitation on the 4th day of covid. I had mild symptoms, but this palpitations got me so much worry.
Absolutely the best video and explained so clearly. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for watching!
A very comprehensive presentation on the subject of A-fib. Being a sufferer of A-fib I really enjoyed this presentation, as it gave me a better understanding of the subject. Thank you.👏
Glad it was helpful!
Anxiety & dehydration in extreme are big triggers .
Really enjoyed your video. So much information I needed.
Thank you
Kay
Impressive presentation. I have been at Mayo and UCHealth and never had this clarity about this subject made.
so far my AFIB is caused by my diagnosed mild sleep apnea. I now sleep with a CPAP. this has thus far changed my life for the BETTER!!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to explain it very clearly and well.
Excellent video. Informative and told in language we can understand..........Thanks, Doc.
I had an ablation at St. Francis Hospital and after a few afib episodes after my procedure now seems to be working fine. I had my bypass there as well many years ago and now on Xarelto, Metoprolol to control my blood pressure and Simvastatin for hugh cholesterol. I have onions and garlic every day and so far so good haven't had an episode of afib since last year when i was sick with the Corona virus. Truth is I've always suffered with constipation but when i included more fruits and vegetables in my diet my constpation and afib have been cured.
A very excellent and detailed explanation. Thanks for that.
Best summary I have seem. Thank you!
I had a fib yesterday and dunked my head in cold water in the kitchen sink and within 1/2 hr it was beating normal.
This is an excellent and very informative video. Thank you so very much for helping me to better understand my A-fib and how to control it. I especially appreciate the clear explanations of how and why the various triggers affect cardiac function. I had no idea of the excess fat hormones causing inflammation, and the many dietary triggers, especially dehydration. God bless you for your excellent videos on A-fib. You have literally thrown a lifeline and given hope to those of us who have this condition. 😍👍👍👍
AHHHmazing talk, Doc. I was a cath lab RN at Mayo and have a good understanding of plumbers/electricians, etc. At 67 years of age, I'm on the path to an ablation but have held back while on Dilt and Eliq to be able to take advantage of the pulsed-field ablation cath, et cetera. Unfortunately, there's a diminishing advantage in waiting for US FDA approval.
I expect a pacer implant may also be on the table due to chronic (4+ years) persistent AF. I'm planning a Watchman procedure to get off Eliquis as I need OTC pain relievers for RA (an option I haven't had for several years). Risk factors have been decreased w/ a 30# weight loss bringing me back to a standard BMI for my sex and age (post-menoP), and returning to a zero ETOH lifestyle. CHADSVASc = 2 (or 3, female) at this time. I'll let you know how it goes unless it goes haywire and then...well, nice listening to your videos! I appreciate your clean, clear, and to-the-point presentations. Thanks.
Thank you sooooooooooo very much for all that FANTASTIC information!!! You are great! I just had a afib attack, never had anything like that!!!!! ❤❤❤❤Joannie
great and excellent lecture
thanks so much
I have renal desease and have been on dialysis for 8 years .
The house we bought last year and lived in has 3 positive types of mold. I was tested and was positive for a couple of them. I was hospitalized with a blood infection and it attached to my micro valve
And it created a hole on the valve. The cardiologist is keeping an eye on it, right now it doesn’t need repair. Well I say all that to say this! I was transported to the hospital on Wednesday. My heart just started to beat u controllably and I was told it was Afib. I feel this episode helped me so much because, I was blaming dialysis. Now I know it was the micro valve most likely. Thanks again Dr. If you can touch on this and dialysis I would appreciate it. Ty again
Mary Alice Cendoya
Good luck to you mary.i hope you make a full recovery and that you can get rid of that house mold!
Changing your lifestyle plays a large role.
Perfectly explained. I watched every second. Thank you 👍👍
You are a great guy and you are a great Doctor
Ty so much.Sleep needs more I drink once in a while so no more cause the pain is aweful you have helped me
Bravo. The only thing I'd add for a cause of AF is hyperthyroidism so check thyroid function levels
Thank you so much Doc for your advice
Dehydration and anxiety are my triggers, anxiety the most.
Mine too .
🎉😊
How do you overcome the anxiety? What if you don't want to be on antidepressants?
@@paull7806you can try castor oil packs over your liver and thyroid. You would be surprised at how calm it makes you feel while detoxing your body. Google for TH-cam videos.
@@paull7806I reduced my anxiety by watching Echart Tolle videos. You will understand why as you start to understand him more. He has good videos on anxiety.
perhaps on your next you could cover bradycardia The other side of a fast heartbeat atrial fibrillation tachycardia.
Well done
Atrial fibrillation was discovered in 1906 that's almost 120 years and we still don't have a cure?
Thank you Doctor I need to know
Hey Doctor AFib, really nice video! I was wondering if I can help you to edit
your videos and create some highly engaging content out of them. Looking
forward to hear from you. Thanks
EXCELLENT Dr Afib. Blessings!
My Afib has been happening every other month..
It's a terrible feeling no control..
Should I even go have it checked out??
Stress, Anxiety, & panic attacks will trigger it off..
Eating healthier does work keep taking your supplements and get plenty of sleep..
Hope this helps..
I had an AtriClip installed when I had my Aortic Valve replaced 10 months ago. I had a 5mm hole in one of the leaflets of a bicuspid Aortic Valve. Surgeon said it was caused by endocarditis in the past. I have no idea what caused endocarditis. I’m not a drug user. I’m a non-smoker, non-drinker, and have lived a very clean life. I’m 62 years old now. What caused the endocarditis? Also - Do you prefer the Watchmen over the AtriClip?
A well done video. I found many triggers that set off my Atrial Fibrillations. I found that when I eat jalapeño peppers my heart goes back into a normal sinus rhythm.
Wow! Great tip. I know if I get enough potassium, I’m fine - no AFIB.
Great tip I must try this.
Mine is just the opposite. When I ate hot peppers I will get an episode
I do not eat Jalapeño peppers unless I have AFib. I will have to try them when I am not in AFib to see what happens.
Chocolate - trigger
very helpful!! thank you Doc. I'm new to this game and I don't like it much I am Having the watchman thing in a few weeks and I have been stressed... not so much anymore.
I have a history of right branch bundle blockage..could that be a cause of my afib?
My 1st thought on the increase of diagnosed...Covid shots . 🤔
And the bioengineered virus itself
I've been diagnosed with this. I'm only 68. I don't even know what I'm supposed to recognize as an afib episode. Just started with verapamil, elequis and nitro tabs. I'm going to see a specialist in a few weeks. This video has given me some insight as to what to expect and specific information with regards as to pointed questions.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
You can get a heart rate monitor watch. Mine tells me that I have afib.
Did you receive the COVID vaccine and boosters?
I wish you good luck, read all you can about this
I did and felt that the booster hurt me, I could get no info at the time @@rolex3560
Exactly. I never had it in my life. Until the COVID boosters.
Then I had Three different ablations at once
Thank you. 😎👍
I was in the hospital for water around my heart n lungs from a bacteria infection pericarditis that started my afib to happen all nite in the hospital very scary . I have to see a specialist for this. i hope this goes away. Thank you for this information
Can u have a watchmen put in same time as an ablation? My brother has the clip!
I had one episode of AFib 2 years ago at 68. Then found out I had sleep apnea and hypothyroidism. Now I have a CPap machine and take Synthroid. So what are my chances of never getting it again?
What about pain? Surgery? My husband had knee replacement surgery 4 weeks ago and had a flare in pseudogout. He pasted out and was in again. He also passed out last year 3 times with the first week after his knee replacement.
Do you still need Apixaban or other anticoagulant for stroke reduction risk if you undergo an ablation procedure?
Hello Dr. new sub here. Could one take Nattokinase for an anticoagulant?
Sir my age27 and no causes of afib what I am still in artil fiberation my echo report normal
Excellent! Thanks!
Does having had COVID 19 increase the risk for new onset atrial fibrillation?
What Holistic and functional medicines including herbs will fix this problem
My age 27 and my echo report normal what I am still in artial fib ........
What I like to know is I had a bad blow to my chest and heart area accident where it was found that I was passing clots behind the mitral valve on one side. It was passing clots to an eye that was damaged where I would lose sight. So I was put on blood thinner Coumadin but I started bleeding internally stomach area. So they put me on an aspirin daily. I finally lost the eye completely. I have had during this time TIAs and have had 2 more of and one major stroke which bruised the brain and lost a lot of functions of the left side. What I would like to know if all this is caused by the blow to the heart. Can this be the cause of my aorata plugging up that causes the clots to the brain. After all this time. And now it’s starting to plug up again. Curious will it ever stop? I do not have high cholesterol!
I've been watching your vids. I get intense afib only at night even with the best pap machine which often indicates I have only 1 or 0 events per night. Still, afib and atrial racing, I can feel it. I've been looking for recos for a wearable device that does not require a phone. I don't have an iphone, I only use a flip phone. Is there such a watch "type" of device available that doesn't require a phone? I may end up buying a typical monitor, not too expensive at around $400.
My Mom has had breathing issues for over 8 years due to a burst bowel 8 years ago and she was septic. She was put on a vent for over 8 months, her kidney's took a hell of a shock, she gained 50 lbs of fluid, she finally got rid of the weight, got off of the vent. Now, here we are, she's back in hospital after a broken arm but began aspirating, so then lots of breathing issues, pneumonia, bacteria in lungs, so now, she's in AFIB big time. She has been in afib for over 3 weeks, they are now going in to do a cardioversion, which I hope will help but also concerned with her breathing issues and CHF and Chronic kidney disease, she may not survive. What do you feel attributed to her afib, the filling up with fluids and wet lungs..? or the heart being overworked ?? The fentanyl she was on due to her arm surgery? I am so very scared, and they say that even if they can shock her heart back into rhythm, it may not last...Help advise!!
What triggers my afib is either a run of PVCs that panic me or i sleep on my hand and i wakeup with it numb which panics me , so my afib is adrenal afib , i solved the second problem by creating an app that wakes me up when i sleep on my hand
I usually get Afib in my sleep especially when i dream about taking flight
@@clintonagyei try taking 350mg magnesium before sleep and not after wakingup
I know someone yrs ago got an ablation as soon as had first attack of afib and no more afib for many yrs
I'm 62 and have it! It's so frustrating... I don't drink, smoke, I ride my bike 100 miles a week, I don't understand why I have it!
Family history? I got only a little of it starting in 2019 and then rapidly worsened in early 2023. I bike, walk, ski... Plenty of physical activity. My dad had it so makes sense I got it. Good luck. I just had ablation and hoping it's gone for good. 🙏
Over-exertion is a likely cause.
Thanks ❤
Can Serquel cause this?
Sir can af give me cardicarest my age27and my echo report normal
That was so informative. I recently had reaction to Amiodarone after 10 years , they took me off. I’m interested in changing my life style diet etc I don’t want it to come back, I had ablation a year ago. Thank you
Do you feel your ablation was a success? I was recently diagnosed with a fib a couple months ago after so many tests, and I am terrified because I have to have one in December. They put me on metoprolol and flecainide, and at first they completely destroyed me, it was so horrible adjusting. But now that they’ve adjusted the meds and my body has adjusted to them somewhat. I have more good days than really crappy days. But he crappy are really crappy. I don’t want to be on these meds, but I am also terrified of burning parts of my heart. I hate how I feel off and sometimes light headed and not myself anymore. I’m to young for this sh*t. I’m 56 athletic and half slightly high cholesterol, but other than that my heart, they said was really good except for the a fib. Oh and I’m plant based. They are contributing it to long Covid.
What if you can’t narrow down what caused the Afib???? Like you don’t have diabetes, high blood pressure or weight problem or alcohol???? Sugar and sodium can do it?
Why doesn't any EP talk about the 1%?? My watchman dislodged and was jammed in my aortic arch. I needed a five hour surgery to retrieve it. No one ever brings that subject into the treatment plan. Why is that and how much does Boston Scientific pay you guys for pushing this device? I guess even in medicine you have to follow the money! I never realized that the manufacturers initials are BS
I WOULD NOT GO TO ANY DOCTOR UNLESS I HAD A BROKEN ARM!
Sorry that happened. I just got diagnosed with Afib and am terrified. 56 and they say I’m great candidate for ablation. Said absolutely do not need watchman. Why did you unless you had more that Afib?
I had the watchman procedure done because I wasn't given another option and I needed to come off of the the blood thinners asap . Docs told me that if I have the watchman implanted I could probably stop the anticoags in approx 6 weeks. Had they told me and if I did my research I would have had the ablation done. With the anticoags I bled from every where. Sorry you're having to go thru this. My doc and her EP partner was an idiot for implanting the watchman because when he got into the upper appendage he realized that the watchman was too big but he went thru with the procedure anyhow. When I went back for the TEE , my cardio doc found that it had dislodged, went thru all 4 chambers of my heart and exited out of my aorta and was lodged in my aortic arch. Watchman's come in a few different sizes. From a simple drive-thru procedure I wound up in cardiac ICU for a week and then another 4 days in the hosp. Any surgery is scary, that's understandable but not doing the ablation is scarier. After a 5 hr. surgery of getting the device out of my aortic arch my heart was now too weak to do the ablation. I wouldn't recommend the watchman to anyone even tho it has a 99% success rate, I wound up in the 1%. Someone had to be that 1 person in 100. See a cardio surgeon and if you like him or her and you can put your trust in him or her let them do it and if you can't, find another and forget the EP. I'm at 2 yrs post op with no watchman and no anticoags. I'm not suggesting that plan for you or anyone else but I have other serious risk factors. Best of luck , you can do this and please let me know how you make out......Mike@@ppittie9747
I'm having cardio version done and am nervous. Is it safe? Will I be ok after? Anyone with experience please help.
Needless to say I would advise anyone to really investigate what's happening before they start doing drugs or surgery.
Does blood thiners help lower cholesterol
What about smoking
Im in the hospital right now from an afib episode I've been having for several days. Went to cardiologist this morning 165 BPM They sent me straight to the ER been sitting here now for 5 hours EKG from the hospital my heart reset to 74 bpm. The next step for me it looks like is medication. So this is what makes me the most nervous is taking meds I've never had to do this before. But I probably prolonged it for way too many years so I'm going to try it first before an ablation.
Skip the meds and do an ablation without delay.
@@17x48 have you had an ablation? I was just diagnosed with a fib and they put me on metoprolol and flecainide, which has totally messed my life up! But now that my body has gotten used to them, it has helped however, they say I definitely need an ablation! Which now terrifies me as well. I am a female 56 and have played tennis all my life and now play tennis and pickle ball but I have not been able to since December. Been feeling off since then, and finally went to the doctor couple months ago and had all sorts of tests done even monitor and they say that I have SVT and more importantly a fib. Some days are good. Some days are really really crappy. So my ablation is set for December 18 and I’m praying all goes well but need to finish watching this video and see if there’s anything else I can do because I cannot stand these medication’s. I’m holistic and have not taken a med hardly ever in my life, so this is destroying me
Hello how can i content u for a sponsor-ship
I had Afib in 2016 do to illness and no problems but have been on blood thinners and in 8/2023 bleed so bad I couldn’t stop it from my but 3 times i don’t have no heart problem my blood pressure
Is always good and I do have thyroid problems and when I went into Afib I did have a blood clot and I don’t want to stay on blood thinners any more I did have a Apple Watch
And would like to go back to it and get off blood thinners what do yup thank
Mine is caused by inheritance.My mom her mom her disters my moms sister my other sister and her faughter.I have lived with it all my life and this last time landed me in hospital on sotolol and also the ablation didnt take.Im terrified
I’m 42 just got PAF happing about every month last about 45 minutes always happens at night. I have a low resting heart rate sometimes around 46 but most of time it’s around 60 trough out day. But sometimes stays at 45 unless I work out. Sucks I feel like I’m in good shape 5’8” 190 pounds work out atleast 30 minutes a day
Would A to F be better?
Blood thinner make my legs hurt and i find it hard to walk
Why have you chosen to omit a known cause of AFib? That is that it comes as a side effect of bypass surgery. I never suffered AFib until the night after a double bypass. That was 20 years ago. I am now 80 and get AFib for a few minute a few times per month. It almost always occurs at night and comes when lying down after getting up to urinate. In general, my heart operates satisfactorily and allows me to swim 2+ miles every other day.
atrial fibrillation was discovered at least a hundred years! and doctor still don't have clue how to fix it other than burning holes in in your heart we're pumping into your veins! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL PROGRESS PROGRESS!
Doctor Afib. I am currently 4 weeks post ablation. I have had a significantly higher seated resting heart rate post ablation (from 60 to around 75) and sleeping (from 48 to 59.) I was not told about the possibility of a higher rhr post ablation, however all my research points to that being a sign of a successful procedure. I am just wondering when it will go back to normal? I have worked hard to obtain and maintain a healthy cardiovascular system and I just hope I have not permanently changed anything. Anyone else experience this?
I’m going in for ablation December 18 and I am a nervous wreck! I’m 56 in decent shape and a female. Supposedly a perfect candidate for successful ablation but there’s always risks. He told me I would have to continue meds maybe for 3 to 4 months afterwards until everything settles and even then it’s not a guarantee, but depending on each case and situation, mine could be up to an 80% chance of good outcome whatever the hell that means. I’m hoping it means that the afib will go away! I don’t have any other heart problems other than just a slight higher than I should have cholesterol count, but other than that supposedly healthy, and a healthy heart aside from a fib. I’m terrified. They have me on flecainide and metoprolol which have totally messed with my life. My blood pressure has always been fabulous but apparently you have to take metoprolol for heart rhythm as well. Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna pass out while I’m driving until I get used to the medication. It’s the worst.
Reference is often made regarding “an increased risk of stroke with untreated A-Fib. What kind of risks are we talking about? Give us some numbers.
Why didn't you define the difference between real and relative risk?
If one person has 2% risk and another person takes all your drugs and is reduced to 1% risk. The real risk is from 2% to 1%. Or 1%.
However, there's a 50% reduction in relative risk. Would that be correct?
How about Grave's disease ? Hyperthyroidism. That causes mine. Is atrial fibrillation same as heart palpitations. I have both. I take Metoprolol to keep it in check.
I was over medicated w excess thyroid meds: result a fib

Sometimes just a theory extreme tired comes from indigestion ! When i recently had before golf small coke and Mc Donald's apple pie period! I had lotta energy mri stomach shows indigestion puts ton of blood in stomach robbing circ!!!
Why do I get A-fib after I eat ? And also before a bowel movement and if I sleep on my left side ?
Sugar, coffee and carbohydrates can do it.
Had afib come and go for 9 yrs. Had an ablation no afib 9 mos. Now it’s back comes and goes, now having a touch up ablation next week. Was still on some meds. Sotalol and now been taking my pill in pocket 2 , 30 mg. Of ditiazem when in afib now twice a day . This why doing a second ablation touch up. On wafarin . Less meds since ablation sotalol but now need ditiazem more often so will see after second ablation
My body chemistry did not agree with the ditiazem medication. I was switched to metoprolol and doing much better! For me ditiazem works very well for emergency medication but not for every day use! Good luck to you!😉
You missed a big one Doc…exercise.. I often get when I play tennis or soccer…since young age, sudden jerky motion sometimes as well…like bending down in hurry etc
What to do with a very slow heartbeat 😮
GI issues for me
Prior to my ablation 3 1/2 months ago my my resting heart rate was 58 beats per minute now it's about 68 will it ever go back down? Thank you
Anything under a hundred is good,,, my resting heart beat is 120,,
Your heart rate is normal.
Can you define the difference between real and relative risk?
If person without AFIB has 2% risk a stroke and an person WITH AFIB takes drugs and is reduced to 1% risk of having a stroke, Isn't the REAL risk go from 2% to 1%. Or 1%.
However, that will also be a 50% reduction in RELATIVE risk. ie. 2% to 1% risk of having a stroke.
I don't have triggers. My heart skips a beat and the doctor says it's AFib. My heart beat is in the 70's but still they say AFib.
I don't drink it smoke. When I was a child, the doctor said I have a heart murmur. Nobody had been able to fix it. I think I've taken every common medicine from metoprolol on down. Not a single med made a difference. Any suggestions?
I'm 69 years old..
D3 vitamin...20000 units per day!
Try the natural way of one to two cloves of garlic and red onions. Even a slice of onion on a sandwich helps.
I was plan to have surgery

He didn’t mention electrolytes imbalance.
I have "permanent AFIB" and have to wonder where the hell have my doctor's been all my life??! I've gone to doctors regularly every 3-6 months all my adult life and no doctor ever mentioned AFIB. In fact, the doctor told me I was healthy. I got high blood pressure in my early 40s and started BP and statins medications when I went into menopause around 45. As far as I know, it was controlled. I've always been healthy, watched my weight and exercised regularly. I took Aerobics, Jazzercise and Zumba classes well into my 50's. I hardly ever got sick, even limited colds and the flu. Then one day out of the blue, I was diagnosed with AFIB, and shocked because I had no symptoms. My health has gone downhill since. I started taking Warfarin and had a long and awful time regulating the dosage. Even after two years it still changes periodically. I also seem to have had every nasty side effect. At first, my hair got dry and brittle and started falling out. I had stomach problems and diarhea constantly. I was tired and did not sleep well. My body adjusted and the only real problem I have is not sleeping enough and am constantly tired and dehyrated. And I wonder what happened to that "healthy old broad" my doctor said I was at 45. He said I had a "strong" heart. Now I have A FIB and high risk for a heart attack and stroke. It runs in my family on both sides and most have died from heart attacks and strokes. I'm old and fight it but eventually I fear it's my fate and inevitable. There is no magic wand, or medical cure, just procedures and medications to treat the symptoms and buy some time. Live the best life you have left.
Do you think "borrowing" a defibrillator (you know, the ones bolted to the wall here and there) and administering it or yourself would cure the excess voltage/routing? It might permanently stop the episodes. Ablations also work, though are not always successful. According to Dr Gupta (he's on TH-cam) high dose Vitamin C can cure Afib in some patients. You might also try high dose L-Arginine together with high dose L-Citrulline. I think we all can be healed but we need God's provision and His power; and submission to His will.
I was diagnosed with 20 years ago. they told me I needed warfarin the whole 9 yards.
didn't do any of it.
DOCTORS ARE LOCKED IN TO THE "STANDARD OF CARE" WHICH IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!
I’ve heard that you can’t touch alcohol that you must walk 5 miles a day that she much heat does she must eat that we still have to live a life. We still have to have some pleasure. If you know what causes a fib, you’re the only doctor that can answer that question. That’s very interesting.
