Should I Take Fish And Flax Seed Oil As I Have Atrial Fibrillation?

I am a diabetic and have atrial fibrillation. I take heart meds i.e. Carvedilol and blood thinner, Xarelto in addition to other meds. I want to know would I be endangering myself by also taking some supplements such as fish oil, flasseed oil and others etc?

Hi. There is no harm in taking them. You are already on the right medications. Fish oils etc have it's benefits though if taken alone may not suffice. Continue your allopathic drugs when you take fish oil supplements. Take care.
