Supplements Help Prevent Heart Rhythm Changes

Q. After 30 years of atrial fibrillation (A-fib), I started taking magnesium, fish oil and vitamin D daily. I think this regimen keeps my A-fib spells down to one every few months, usually triggered by caffeine.
A. Atrial fibrillation requires medical management from a physician. We do NOT want anyone to experience a stroke because of home treatment. Make sure your doctor knows about your supplements. Symptoms of A-fib are not always detectable by the patient. But we’re pleased to hear you have been able to reduce your episodes.
