My heart doctor said I had Afib and put me on Multaq even though I had CKD (about 40% of my kidneys). Within a week I had an appt. with my GYN doctor and she did a blood test. They found that my kidney function was down to 23%!!!! I stopped the Multaq right away and they said my kidney function should go back up. Last time I had it checked it was only 28%. I have had another test done but don't have the results yet. The doctor has me on Eliquis (2.5mg. twice a day and I haven't had any bad results from it. Just a warning-if you have CKD think twice before taking Multag.

My kidney function has come back up to 39% so I am happy about that. I saw my heart doctor last week and he told me if I can lose a little weight (I am 5' 1" and weigh 138), exercise more and watch my intake of salt, sugar and carbs that I could bring my BP down naturally. I am going to try those things. I did some yard work yesterday and brought my BP way down. I do eat a lot of sweets and, when I go out to eat, I usually eat a LOT of bread.
