If you have been prescribed to take Fish Oil (usually to control tryclecrides and cholestrol) you should not come off without consultation with your doctors just because you read AFIB on MCC.

Discuss your concerns with your cardiologist or EP.

I only post what my expereince is and what my doctors tell me. We are all different and your medical profile is not the profile of others and what they should do or not do based on their specific medical conditions.

AFIB can be caused by many issues including stress and axniety. Mine comes and goes. I am on Fish Oil per my cardiologist, EP, and my Heart Failure doctor. I did see quite a drop in my tryglecrides when I went on it many years ago.

With AFIB I always post about trying to reduce anxiety and stress. My EP stresses this playing a big role in triggering AFIB and PVCs along with weight issues and many other factors. With that I always talk about finding exercise (with doctor approval) or hobby that you reall like and enjoy to lesson your anxiety and stress. This is not prescribing it but what what my doctors recommended and it really helped me reduce my AFIB and PVCs I am a big proponent of it if your doctors concur.

Thanks very much for this. My triglycerides and cholesterol have always been in the normal range but I have not been tested in several years. I have a visit with my doctor so and will bring this up and ask for a new test.
Appreciate your comments!
