I’ve had it for about 5 years take flilecinide and meta propal.I feel it every once in a while but it’s been pretty well controlled with the meds.doc told me as long as it stays in control he wouldn’t recommend ablation which is fine by me lol.

I have A-fib; been shocked twice, complete with electrical burns; take Multaq to keep me in normal rhythm. I am at high risk of stroke or heart attack due to vascular disease, so my docs think it's critical to keep me out of A-fib. I have two cardiologists (an electrician and a plumber) and a neurologist. I'm seeing the electrician tomorrow, and hope I haven't lapsed back into A-fib.
PM me if you want to know more.

Jim Did you have any side effects from Multaq? It made me allergic to the sun (major rash) and gave me hand tremors and tingling in hands and feet. Last year I had an ablation and they took me off of Multaq. Feel great now.

I used to love coffee; can't drink it anymore. Caffeine causes my heart to go crazy, so I avoid anything with caffeine in it. I've had a loop recorder in my chest and it has recorded irregular heartbeat and rapid heart rate of 180 bpm. They felt my heart issues were probably due to dehydration and told me to drink lots of water. So, I do, but still get episodes involving my heart.
I've had a stress test and they found no blockages. Only meds I take are Neurontin for a spinal cord injury and simvastatin.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

No side effects from Multaq.
Dr. Wu is my electrician cardiologist.
