George: Which Oura tracking ring do you use? I guess for just keeping track of HR and SpO2 levels a cheaper one would suffice. I am seeing them as low as $25 on Amazon.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
George: How do you know the Oura Tracking ring is accurate for tracking deep sleep? Is there a brand you can recommend? Also after you exercise, how long does it take your HR to go back to normal? Mine has been staying elevated until 3-4 hours post exercise. I don't think it was like that in years past.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
PC MD: During the height of the Covid Lockdown, I went on a 3 hour Desert Hike of 3 miles RT and around 1,200 Ft elevation change. The next day I got 2 separate cramps within several hours in my right Calf, and left upper Trap/Neck area. They were horrible making me almost completely immobile. Never had anything near this bad as far as cramps. Thought about going to the ER Room, but Covidby The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks George and PC. Wow George you have a good memory as to what was written 15-20 years ago. PC, have you tried the CA reduction protocol to see if it reduces your PAC's?by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM

What elevation do you live at? About 2200 ft I assume your hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are normal? Hemoglobin has been running 50.3 - 51.7 Quest range 38.5 - 50 Hematocrit has been running 17.1 - 17.8 Quest Range 13.1 - 17.2by The Anti-Fib - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Anybody use Epsom Salt Baths to boost Mg? I don't take a full bath, but leave the stopper in my shower tub, dissolve the Salts in an inch of water, and then I end up getting several inches of foot soak every day while I take a shower. It appears that is what helped boost my Mg levels way up on the Exatest.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
Anti-Fib - you're on Tikosyn? No I stopped all Anti-Arythmics/Beta-Blockers after my last ECV. "I still think there is something root cause about this" Have you tested your Intra-cellular Mg levels using the Exatest?by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
"it always ends the same way" I agree with Carey, but its been 9 months NSR for me, and I am not even getting PAC's. Several years ago I went 18 months. I may be an anomaly, but "temporary" might mean many months. I would also add asking your Dr. about Norpace as an option. It's supposed to be one of the best Anti-Arrythmic's for Vagal AFIB, althoughby The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
How long does this sensation last? I had something like that about a dozen times over the last 3-4 years or so. It stopped about 6 months ago. To me, I perceived some kind of electrical energy release, kind of a shocking sensation. It was really noticeable, but only lasted for several seconds. It happened to me only when I was in NSR though. Also I never narrowed it down to one side, I amby The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
I have been saying for years that NSAIDs can help trigger AFIB upon withdrawal from using them. Studies have shown electrolyte shifts in the Atria both when you start and stop taking NSAIDs. These shifts probably vary upon the type of NSAID also. There are also shifts in BP upon cessation of these Drugs. How much of a risk, I don't know, maybe not a big one in the larger scheme of things.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
Carey's response is valid, but if it was me, I would try a few things before accepting Permanent AFIB. The advantages to being in NSR, is that usually people feel better even if it is subtle, Stroke risk is less, and you probably would be less dependent on Anti-Coagulants.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
Could be something like lower stress hormone levels that day. I agree with Carey. Perhaps on a normal day you were able to over-ride the impact of the Metropolol, but not on that day. Maybe not quite as motivated, or it could be you were subconsciously holding back due to concern of injury or something.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM

From Quest Labs: Testing statements The antibody tests (sometimes known as the serology tests or IgG tests) are intended for use as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. Results are for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are generally detectable in blood several days after iniby The Anti-Fib - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
4-8 days, you should take Multaq with a high-fat meal. From the Official Multaq Rx Information Absorption "Because of presystemic first pass metabolism the absolute bioavailability of dronedarone without food is low, about 4%.

You would tell Natale about your allergies to the Metals, and you could just tell him to leave the LAA alone.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
I think you are making to much out of the success of this. If it doesn't work for very long, than you still have the options of making changes and more ECV's, or Ablation. It is certainly worth trying, since you have made all of the changes to help recently, in particular dropping the Metropolol. Persistent AFIB is tough, but you are worthy of the challenge.by The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM
"This website is intended for UK healthcare professionals only" Some good points, but lacks overall vision of treatment of AFIB, at least in reference to our perspective as patients. This author probably never had AFIB. I feel a hell of a lot better, being in NSR for these 8 months since my ECV. We already know that ECV is not a cure-all and will resume NSR for an indefinite perioby The Anti-Fib - AFIBBERS FORUM

How many ECV's have you had? 1-2? I would give the George-Holds a try first, but more ECV's probably necessary to get back in NSR, and then all of the things you are doing may keep you there. Also if you need to figure out if your Vagally Mediated or not, if you haven't already. Amioderone may not be a very good choice for Vagal AFIB.

QuoteLaniB How do you know if you are vagal or not? and if you are vagal, then what's the best treatment? No doctor i've seen has mentioned Vagal VS androgenic.
