    Taurine more or less cured my mom and I. My mom has had 4 surgeries. First was in the early 80s for Wolf Parkinson White disease. Speeding up of the heart at random. Episodes would last for up to a couple hours. First surgery and medication helped for a few years. The doctors would then try different medications and more surgeries. About 5 years ago she was in Afib in a permanent sort of state. In the last 10 years I started having episodes of Afib to the point of passing out at times. 2 years ago my mom read about Taurine, a supplement they add to energy drinks. She started using it and was amazed at how well it worked for her. Her doctor is amazed at how well her numbers have been but refuses to believe Taurine had anything to do with it. I also can attest to how life changing taurine is for myself as well. Maybe it's a placebo effect but I don't care. I am back in rythem for 2 years straight. ❤❤❤❤❤

    One thing about A-Fib can nurses and Dr identify when a patient is going from Normal Sinus Rhythm to Irregular heart rhythm off the cardiac monitor or a telemetry strip, that's the problem as a whole as nurses and Drs.

    Please help.
    I think Pharmaceuticals gave me a heart condition. I woke up from a hysterectomy with a Dr telling me that my heart rate spiked during surgery and that they had to put me on a heart medication. Calcium channel blocker. I had never had a spiked heart rate before. It probably spiked because you go into surgery dehydrated because you cant drink anything many hours before surgery and I was always a bit dehydrated already because I'm never thirsty and didn't realize at the time how important hydration is. Fast forward 4+yrs and my heart rhythm is completely messed up and I can't get off of these meds. I have appt next month to see a 5th cardiologist in 4 yrs. I think the med has caused the beginning of heart failure because now even when I try to stop taking the medication my heart rate stays in the 50s when at rest (not supposed to be below 60) and I get several different kinds of cardiac arrhythmias....because under 60 bpm there's not enough cardiac output. I had zero heart problems before that surgery. Could drink caffeine with no problem. (not that I miss it...its just to make a point) Now I can't even drink Decaf coffee because there's too much caffeine in it and it causes arrhythmias. I've been told I have IST. I had to have adenosine once (well, 2 doses that didnt work)....all while on the medication and never having had anything like this before the surgery.
    The arrhythmias are so bad I'm not sure I can wait until next month to see the Dr.

      Pacemaker and defibrilator are not similiar devices, cardioversion from my experience is absolutely magic, walk out , walk home . After three spaced apart occasions vast panic experience is disappeared.
      Trust the procedure for myself. Trust the medications.
      Do work outs, also have an employment that keeps me active all eight hours, and relax without any trouble. 😅
