Atrial Fibrillation

Hi Group,

My brother is again having episodes of atrial fibrillation and it seems to

be constant these days.

About a year ago he was diagnosed with that and a heart flutter and was on

warfarin and another drug, I think cumadin? for a short time. It went away

for the most part but, as I said is back and really bothersome for him now.

He has lightheadedness, headrushes and heaviness in his chest. At a recent

appointment at his health care facility it was recommended that he have his

heart shocked to set the rythym straight again. This is supposed to be

helpful in 86% of cases. I have been reading that it usually always comes

back and the procedure can cause death. (1% chance)

I have been reading up on supplements that he could take to attempt to

correct this condition but no dosage amounts are quoted anywhere.

Can anyone here be of help with that information? How much to take, how

many times per day, when, etc.???

The recommended supplements are:

Calcium

Magnesium

Hawthorne

Omega-3 fats

Co-Enzyme Q-10

Thanks in advance for any input.

Gypsy Rose, the most important is the Magnesium. Magnesium regulates the

heart beat and helps it to beat in rhythm. The Atrial is a valve and, based

upon our experience, this valve will regulate with Magnesium. Needless to

say, if his other minerals are extremely low, that will all add to his heart

problems. He must eat correctly and get everything his body needs or it

will just give up. Let me know if he is near Oklahoma and I'll assist him

in seeing a Natural Physician as soon as possible. If farther away,

perhaps a telephone appointment will be enough. Obie.

Thanks Obie,

We are in Southern California. I'm going to be with him on Saturday and taking

all information to him at that time. I will be suggesting that he give the

supplements and anything else alternative a try for a few months before

resorting to the measures his doctors are suggesting.Thanks again,

Saul,

What kind of magnesium? I've been using mag orotate myself and take it only at

night. The calcium I take in the morning and that is coral calcium. I guess

that is the question for all the supplements you mention as there are so many

different types of each.

Thank you for your input here.

Dear GR,

There are many forms of magnesium (and calcium). The only way to find out

what works best for him is by trial and error.

WOW that would be scary!! I hope it gets figured out! I know that my heart

Subject: atrial fibrillation

Hi All,

I had a scary event yesterday ... got up about 4:45 to do my usual

coughing up of food and just as soon as I reached to flush the toilet

I felt extremely dizzy and collapsed to the floor. Once on the floor I

knew I was in trouble because I could not move my arms or legs and

could not hold my head up. I had difficulty breathing and really had

to think about it (or at least it seemed). My wife heard me collapse

and came running and found me thankfully. For about two or three

minutes of trying to communicate with her what had happened I began to

get scared and had her call 911. By the time they got there I was just

starting to be able to move my limbs and was able to get back to the

bed. When they hooked me up they found I was having an irregular

heartbeat.

At the hospital they said I was having atrial fibrillation but that it

had cleared itself by the time I got the the ER and they released me.

Two things though ... how could an irregular heartbeat cause temporary

paralysis like that? Second, could atrial fibrillation be related to

the achalasia? I think I have had this problem before because years

ago I would get strong palpitations, but this time there was no warning.

I am wondering if the irregular heartbeats has been going on for

several days without my knowledge and I threw a small blood clot which

caused a TIA (this explains the collapse and temporary parlysis).

Anyone else ever experience this?

Thanks

[Guest guest]

 

Just read your event and thought this might be of interest to you.  I was

diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in 1998 at the same time the doctors said I

was having trouble swallowing and had acid reflux (spent 2 days in hospital). I

never had acid reflux so didn't take the pills prescribed but was prescribed

Atenonol (Beta Blocker) for the Fibrillation.  So 9 years later was diagnosed

with " A " in 2007.  Had surgery at Cleveland Clinic in Dec. 2007 everything going

fine don't have many break-throughs of irregular heartbeats, but forgot to take

my medicine in Apirl until late evening and I was in such severe pain that I

thought I was going to pass out not from the irregular heartbeat but from the

area around my esophagus or LES of course I rushed and took my Atenonol and the

pain was releaved after about 45 minutes of pain but I never had irregular

heartbeats during this time just aweful pain of the LES and " E " .

Also doctors cautions me about the possibility of passing out due to the fast

beating of the heart and possible stroke.

 

So my questions is do you all think the Atenonol has been keeping me from having

the severe pain that I have read about on the board from other people as I have

never been in pain until April.

Beta blockers can effect (relax) the muscles of the esophagus, including

the LES. For that reason patients are told to stop taking them two days

before a manometry test. There is also some evidence that atenonol

(atenolol) can cause some dependency. Because of those things I think it

is possible that there could be some rebound from not taking the drug

that could trigger something in the esophagus. That is just a guess though.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Nortan for the response.  I have been wondering about it ever since I

came on the board and there was so much discussion of the severe pain some

described and I had never had this pain.  I had the regrutation of food, the

choking at night, the spasms (I called them hick-ups) where nothing would go

down even water or liquids for several hours or days but never pain and now I

understand a little of why I could go so long and not have any major problems. 

Never been in pain until April and it wasn't pleasant to say the least I can

fully respect those that wen through the pain and are still having pain.  I was

given Atenonol in the hospital and have not been off it since because of the

irregular heartbeat (200 beats per minute)..  I can miss a couple of hours and

it takes about 3 - 50 mg pills to settle it down.

 

Again, thanks.

I had no luck with the search engine for Atrial Fibrillation (when the

top of the heart quivers and doesn't pump blood). I understand Candida

overgrowth can cause irregular heart rhythms. I'm currently on my third

medication for A-Fib which really isn't working either. I have numerous

symptoms which could be Candida related.

My question is, before I make the decision to go under the knife for a

surgery that may, or may not fix the problem; is it possible Candida

overgrowth could cause this problem?

Current symptoms if it helps:

Hay Fever

Intolerance of; perfume, odors, fumes, tobacco smoke, chemicals, smog,

dust, pollen

Athletes Foot

Cravings for high carbs

Tinnitus (bad)

abnormal wax build up in ears

vitreous floaters (bad),

fatigue (severe)

Epstein Barr

Lethargy (severe)

Drowsiness

Hair Loss

Scum on Scalp

Irregular Heart Beat

Headaches

Brain Fog

Dizziness

Irritability

Panic Attacks

Lesions on Skin

Jock Itch

Urinary Frequency

Inability to Concentrate

Joint Pain

Arthritis

Stiffness

Smelly Urine

Lack of Appetite

Anxiety Attacks

Grief Spells

Memory Loss

Spaced Out Feeling

Depression

Thrush (White Coating on Tongue)

Numbness

Tingling

Lack of Strength

Itching Skin

Heartburn

Indigestion

Acid Reflux

Restless Sleep

Hi ,

Atrial Fibrillation is related to these symptoms below.

- Heart palpitations and irregular heart beat.

The above is in the symptoms list you reviewed previously. However, the exact

term /label given by the medical community may not be present. Since there

would be far too many related terms to list per body part related ailments.

Nonetheless, , welcome to the group and that's great you are giving the

diet a chance to see what it can do for you. And if your wife gets on board ,

all the easier on your grocery bill ..lol ;]

Yes, I agree , the amount of information can be overwhelming. No doubt. Just

take your time and don't rush. And you are very welcome for the links.

Best Regards,
