Looking at I-Mask+, they say 0.2 mg/kg. This is how I would dose it - do your own due diligence. I'm not suggesting anyone do this. For example ONLY. I'm 77 kg = 15.4 mg The paste is stated to be 1.87%. This would 18.7 mg/g. 15.4/18.7 = 0.82 or 0.82 g of the paste. Hence you'd need a fractional gram scale. 1 g of paste would be about the same as six 3 mg pills. A 0by GeorgeN - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

From the article "In the acute setting, cannabis smoking may result in an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, secondary to sympathetic nervous system activation" I would think that someone could check their heart rate after using CBD to see if it causes sympathetic nervous system activation. Realizing this may not apply to someone with pacer or in constant afib. Most folks Iby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM

QuoteMartha Sue Thanks for your reply. I do take one 500 mg MagSRT (time release) each morning. Instructions say to take 4 per day so I should probably take more. A 500 mg serving of MagSRT is 4 tablets (serving size), this means you are actually taking 125 mg of magnesium.by GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM

The odd thing about the graph is the "RR" interval, as drawn/shown, is really the "QQ" interval. Not that it makes a difference here, as the distance is the same, but the "R" peaks are usually much easier to pick out. Good point wolfpack!by GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
This image shows what the interval is and how to measure: Source: I'd make a pdf & print it out & work on the paper. Your AliveCor will use an X or time scale of 25mm/sec. On your AliveCor graph, the space between dots is 1mm, 5mm between light lines and 25mm between heavy lines.by GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM

QuoteDavrosT Thanks George. Do you think perhaps that a reduction from a heck of a lot of carbs per day to the above could potentially cause issues with adaptation? I also wonder if the increased sugar intake in the large amounts of fruit may contribute, or even the large reduction in calories.

QuoteDavrosT But I do eat a lot of carbs normally so I'm wondering if that and the reduced calories is part of the problem. Low carb/keto diets can cause issues, especially during adaptation. The issue is the drop in serum insulin. Higher level insulin signals the kidneys to retain sodium, conversely low insulin signals the kidneys to excrete sodium and this can be severe enough to causby GeorgeN - AFIBBERS FORUM
