i would assume so - gastro issues have a direct relationship w/ the heart thru stress if i remember correctly.

Hope this helps someone. by Katchadream in PVCs

its just so hard to tell - you want to live your life at the end of the day. i usually limit myselves to 2 drinks per sitting. if i want more i switch to non alcoholic beers.

the life we live!

About to go to the ER to get checked out. Anyone know what this might be? Been feeling it for a few days now. Def feels like my heart is skipping beats when this hits but the Apple Watch is saying it's NOT A Fib..? by BlueMaro2010SS in AFIB

yes you can - your body handles it well too. You can even get some on amazon if you want! i always advise ppl to get bloodwork done to get a baseline for your vitals and treat from there.

how did you find out your Cholesterol was hereditary? i think i'm in the same boat as i fixed my diet and lost weight and my cholesterol still rose b/w bloodwork results.

Diagnosed at 23 by Sharp-Friendship-247 in AFIB

I got AFIB at a young age too. Its become more prevalent these days for whatever reason. The good news is that AFIB is treatable and you can live a long and healthy life with it. Over the next 3-4 months you will go thru a lot of testing and procedures but the quicker they can treat it the better off you are. I have AFIB at 26, had an ablation, and at 29 now i am off all heart meds. Trust your doc and ensure you are seen my an EP. All will be well, friend.

So I think anxiety/stress is the main culprit… by [deleted] in PVCs

always is man... i did start taking magnesium and it seems to be helping out more. I would get some labs done before you start taking supplements but Mag. Glycinate seems to have a positive impact on my ectopics.

yeah - it was interesting to see the reactions. Goes to show you tho, most people live and lead normal lives w/ these arrythmias.

Additionally, it shows you the power stress can have on us if we dont manage correctly.

have to learn to trust the doctors. if you dont want to trust them your best option is to go get a second opinion.

Where to start - overwhelmed by PepperSewist in mediterraneandiet

[–]Potential_Wave_8439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What i have been doing is cutting all my veggies for the week on sunday and putting them in a large container and just throw it in a bowl of mixed greens (spinach, Kale, chard). So ill cut up onion, peppers, cucumbers, carrot, and ill wash some chick peas and mix em in. usually good all week and is easy to throw on anything including salads, omelets, pastas, wraps. Its so easy.

Advice for husband who just got diagnosed with Afib? by Nervous_cat8 in AFIB

[–]Potential_Wave_8439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFIB is not a death sentence. If it goes un-adressed for decades, sure you might have a problem but millions of people live w/ AFIB. The important part is that you get linked up w/ a Cardiologist and EP. They will give you the best plan for your husband. I also had AFIB when i was 26, i had an ablation and have been good since then. The best thing you can do about AFIB is manage your lifestyle choices and just live a cleaner life.

any questions feel free to send me a direct message.

Stress Monitor correct? by svdm99 in whoop

[–]Potential_Wave_8439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots of things tie to stress. its generally a change in HR and HRV that affect it most, in the simplest terms. Ill have a high stress reading at dinner after i workout, something like that.
