Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Ellen, did they say why? I've started taking 120 mg a day and have found it to give me a bit more energy and my AF intensity and frequency has been reduced significantly. There are many web sites on COQ10. Just go to Keyword COQ10 and check them out. I don't see any problems with COQ10. Mind you, I only take 50 mg. per day of atenolol and an aspirin. The upside seems significantly better than any downside. The bit more energy I get is not like a caffeine buzz. It's like I use to feel before AF and when I was younger.

Somehow I hadn't correlated the two. I started taking it because I heard it was good for afib from a alternative medicine standpoint.

I've never noticed any problem, if you just start taking it a few days before your next blood test then you can adjust the warfarin/coumadin if need be because the results will include having the CoQ10 in your system. I take several things and don't notice any different in my INR levels. Best wishes, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Ellen, did they say why (to stay away from CoQ10)?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 You know...I am ashamed to say I can't quite remember just why. I do remember buying it and taking the bottle in to the EP, as well as my Family Doctor. They were having so much trouble getting my blood level between 2 and 3 - I think this may have been the reason. I kept a Journal way back when, but when I checked it out, I had no notes on it at all. Sorry....I know this isn't much help.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 Ellen, oh that's right, CoQ10 has been mentioned as possibly problematic for those taking Coudmadin. I take 325mg enteric aspirin each day along with Cardizem 240mg for the afib; I also take 60mg of CoQ10 TWICE DAILY (total 120mg/day) which I find reduces the severity of the extra beats I feel due to MVP (mitral valve prolapse) and the PAC's which sometimes precede afib.
