![]() ![]() I’m not advising anyone to take what I take, all I can tell you is I’ve been taking these for 5 years and Not only am I still alive, I’m well and □□ not had another AF episode. Not that I'm glad any of you are suffering, but at least now I can compare my experiences with those of others, and learn about things that might help, e.g. I spent most of my life feeling like I was alone in my suffering. ![]() I'm very grateful that this forum exists. I'll check in here again in a couple of weeks or so to let you know how it's going by then. But I do have to say I'm a bit disgusted that none of my cardiologists or EPs have ever mentioned magnesium, when everyone in this forum seems to know about it. After all these years, it shouldn't hurt to wait a little longer if I decide to go for it. Things I've read here seem to indicate otherwise, at least sometimes. I had been led to believe that recovery from an ablation only takes a day or two, and there are seldom any side effects. I was scheduled for an ablation a week from now, and I asked to postpone it while I see what happens with this. It's a bit optimistic to think that 55 years of AF will go away because I started taking a supplement, but that's what I'm hoping anyway. It's too early to tell for sure, I'll let you all know how it turns out in the long run. There have also been 3 times it got arrhythmic for a few seconds, or maybe a minute, then converted. ![]() They usually had lasted at least 2 hours before. I had one episode about a week later, it lasted about an hour. I've been taking magnesium every day since then. Huge coincidence probably, but it made me hopeful. He did, and as I was finishing drinking it, I went back to normal rhythm. My son has some magnesium powder that he takes, so I asked him to make me a cup of it. I had been in an episode for about an hour as I was reading. It was mentioned how important it is for AF. They all seemed to work for a while.Ībout 2 weeks ago I was reading this forum and read some comments about magnesium. I've tried Cartia, Sotalol, Amiodarone, and am now on Flecainide. I've had AF for 55 years, starting when I was 19, and now I'm 74. I've been monitoring for several weeks, and this is my first post. ![]()
