Joe: Hope that article is true, I raise a lot of tomatoes, I eat them fresh for about 3 months, I also make juice and sauce and can them. Maybe that is why I have low platelets because of all the tomatoes. A Dr. Gundry, which has been spoken off here as being a wise doctor says not to eat tomatoes, I really don't listen to these gurus anymore. I love my tomatoes can't see where thby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM

Madeline: I take Synthroid for my thyroid, I started taking it after my thyroid was nuked (didn't know a lot then, no computer) but since I was on it for so long I remained. Also natural thyroid meds are harder to keep the thyroid hormone in the proper dose. Have you taken Iodoral a iodine supplement, it worked great for a number of years then I got a few hives so I stopped the Iodoral ,by Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Louise: Your mother lived a long time with AF, that is wonderful. My mother died at the age of 92, she got AF in her early 80s, she did go on Coumadin. A few months before her death she had tarry, black stools and was hospitalized, the Coumadin was stopped, they did tests but didn't go too far Re: her intestines because of her age, she died in her sleep a few months later.

I wrote on this forum about Dr. Perlmutters magnesium, I really liked it at first, it seems to help with sleep and it was very pleasant to take. After taking it for a while I was getting runs of PVCs off and on everyday, I wasn't getting any pvcs for many years, I just thought that this was something that was just happening to me.

Madeline: Could you tell me what your thyroid numbers are: Your TSH, free T4, free T3? I don't think you are getting AF because you have been on a thyroid med. for a long time, I have had my thyroid nuked because of graves disease, I was hyper. I have been on a thyroid med.since 1993, I can get an episode of AF because my thyroid is over medicated or under. I am Vagal as my episodes ocby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM

"it gets progressively worse over time" . Not for everybody, I have had episodes of AF for almost 20 years, it is not worse, in fact, I have gotten less episodes since May of this year not more.

This article is about diminished P waves, don't know if it is of any help as I don't read ECGs, but I happened to see this article. Abstract Aims A correct identification of the P wave is crucial for the diagnosis of narrow QRS tachycardias. This is sometimes difficult because atrial activity is hidden in the T wave. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of a T waby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM

Gupta talks about PVCs, I take magnesium and very seldom get pvcs. was this study out around 2016?by Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM
Sanjay recommends Ranolazine, it is used for angina, not a new drug. I read that a short study was used--2000 mg. of Ranolazine was given to those that were in AF and if their AF was terminated within 6 hours its use was a success, nothing new, flecemide does the same thing. I wouldn't get my hopes up. lby Elizabeth - AFIBBERS FORUM

Carey; Well, that doesn't sound too bad, right? But if you do the math, a 1.9% annual risk of having at least one stroke over a 10-year period is about 17%. And over a 20-year period that rises to about 32% What kind of math are you doing--future values table?

There is a device called ZonaPlus, it is a small device that you hold in your hand and squeeze as hard as you can, then it gives you instructions to continue.

Quote: Jpeters:: Larger problem is going under 2.0 when you're out of rhythm. Miss one dose and you're there.

Jpeters said: Sounds like you're blaming Coumadin. Unlikely.... We are told that taking a anti coagulant is necessary to avoid a stroke, yet I have read on this site of a number of people taking an anticoagulant having a stroke and death.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common condition of irregular heart rhythm and exists in at least one percent of the population. The condition becomes more common as age increases. It is rare in young people and more common in people over eighty years old.
