Thanks @1943! Neat to learn of new technology like this! My case is fresh restart of A-fib for some reason so too early for a major decision like this cool device...

I Spent the day at ER; came away with two new prescripts: 240mg Cardizem (diltiazem) & 20mg Xarelto... The intervenious shot of Cardizem slowed my constant 142 BPM rate on arrival to 75-ish, & Xarelto was because I complained of the $450/mo cost of the Elequis I had after my operation. HA! Xarelto is $ 350! At least I was able to talk them out of their desire to keep me in the hospital! I certainly can drive myself back again if BPM go up above 120 or so. We all know the A-fib is not a reason by itself to go to ER, but the doc said 'any constant >100 BPM warrants a visit to the ER.

My question remains: Does anyone knowingly have A-fib and is NOT on a blood thinner? Thanks.

I do not and will not. Looking at the side effects, I do not wish to take it. Instead I take turmeric, garlic capsules catch, what’s your natural blood thinners.

I know my blood is thin enough because I bruise easily.

This is not an answer to your question, but I wanted you (and all of you) to be aware that. Xarelto is MUCH cheaper from the right Canadian pharmacies (check ones on the CIPA approved list).

I. get a three months supply for. $145 and having just noticed there's now a generic for much less, I. plan to order that next time - provided my cardiologist approves. It's just criminal. what Big Pharma does in this country. with the collusion of the government.
