After 2.3 years on dofitilide, I was taken off of it since it is no longer working re afib. Cardiologist and I discussed the problem, and he put me on a small dose of metoporol. Just started it this morning. Feel alittle odd, but okay. Been working on taxes and my cognitive function is good, not sleepy, seems to be processing well. Thank God. He said the drugs to control afib are no longer working for me, and now the strategy is rate control. HR was about 100 resting, alittle too high. He's a young local doctor and doesn't mind that I take a handful of vitamins twice a day. My other functions are healthy. PRAY FOR SUCCESS!!

healtytoday, My cardiologist is young as well. When I approached him about supplements his response was , In your case, it is a good idea. He also asked me why I'd want to donate blood and my response was, It is the only natural blood thinner, helps my body make new blood and someone out there could use some help. His response was, I have no problem with you giving blood.
These younger cardiologists are into nutrition, supplements and exercise. BTW, when I first went to him he reminded me of Dougie Houser form th eTV and the others on staff called him Dr. Jimmy. I cracked dup. HJe's now needing to get th next size white coat cuz he's built himself a bit of muscles over th almost 4 years I've been seeing him.
