Question: Are there any alternative supplements to control atrial fibulation?
I want to prevent another stroke but would like to get off these powerful medicines. Cellulitus put me in the hospital again and the problems of IV's etc turned into fibulitus on both legs which is getting better. Losing weight, walking more all seems to improve things.

Brief Answer:
There are no supplements to control Atrial fibrillation!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this stroke and the cellulitis that you have reported. Glad enough, you are making progress and feeling a lot better. Please, there are no supplements for atrial fibrillation. I will advice that you don't fall into the trap of stopping your drugs with what has not been proven to be safe an effective in the name of supplement/alternative therapy.

Weight loss, healthy diet, No smoking, Minimal alcohol, regular exercise, fruits and vegetables would all help with your over all state of health.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
