I don't intend to become argumentative about this because you're the one who owns your body and I would always advise people to trust their gut instincts and to look after themselves. However, I would hope that you don't think of a DOAC as 'medicine' per se. It's a prophylaxis, a health aid, that is meant to stave off a potential risk for you. It's not like the risk of a stroke is huge, and I'm begging you to please reconsider...for your own good. But the risk of a stroke during, and after, a run of AF is considered to be six times higher than when not in AF. From there, you have to know what your current risk is given your age and any other conditions/comorbidities that are running through your system.

I am and didn't realize i am on a medicine verapamil 40mg, I know it's not working, because every day is getting harder, but thank you
