How To Cure Stomach Upset And Gastritis With Episodes Of A-fib?
When I have an A-Fib episode the attack is alway preceded by an upset stomach and gas. My doctor recommended Gas X but that does not seem to help. I am on coumadin, take my INR readings weekly and maintain a reading of between 2. and 3. I need something to take for my stomach, beside Gas X, something that will not interact with the coumadin. Do you have any recommendations? My doctor is Internal Medicine and I go to a Cardiologist, niether seem to be of much help.

Hello,
As Gas-X is not helping, we recommend adding a proton pump inhibitor with antacid syrup to combat possible gastritis from coumadin. More focus must be kept on eliminating stress from the daily routine which is a major provocative agent for stomach upset in your case. Avoidance of smoking, alcohol, regular sound sleep and exercises are also vital.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
