@saraheigen I forgot to mention meds that can be a trigger for me. Most people start a steroid "pack" at 60mg,it seems. Last spring I took a mere 2 mg of methylprednisolone and was in the ER with afib. It is very difficult to not be able to take steroids (I think even hydrocortisone might be problematic.). Asthma drugs like albuterol and decongestants like sudafed are also triggers. I was in the hospital with COVID and they literally could not treat me, I would imagine stimulants of any kind would also be a problem for me.

Not sure what you are taking for meds and supplements but you are wise to look into triggers with your doctor!

My pea brain advice is the google = side effects of bla bla drugs one by one. Do NOT swallow anything that can cause heart problems. Doctors are into prescribing drugs and most do not like or refuse to chit chat about them being a problem. They are busy writing out your bill. Take responsibility for your own health and investigate.
