Mike, you summed it perfectly, and oh how frustrating and scary. Reached 79 taking no meds at all, then Afib started and it's all meds with more meds to fix the problems csused by the previous meds. It becomes an endless cycle.

I can totally agree getting old is not fun!! I used to work for an “alternative” medical doctor and he would start most of his patients out drinking warm water every morning with usually good results but now that I’ve gotten older I need to add the coconut oil a couple times a week. Good luck!

I used to have neighbors that said that the only thing golden about the golden years is your pee! LOL

I looked at the side effects of the meds you are taking and does not list constipation. Other scary side effects but not that.

I am the health nut on here who suggests natural solutions as I am 75 and take NO meds and have eliminated many health problems naturally.

1 for your a fib, do you consume any food or drink containing caffeine?? Coffee, cola, Mountain Dew, chocolate??
2 for constipation, do you eat white bread, processed foods containing wheat, cheese clogs you up like a cork, other dairy, more than 4 oz meat etc daily?? Do you eat FRESH fruit, vegetables that are not canned??
