I do pill in a pocket with diltiazem. I have afib about once a year. I take it while I wait for the ambulance. Then they do a drip of diltiazem because I already have low blood pressure and they are careful not to lower it too far.

What does your cardiologist suggest?

I have in the last year discovered that in my case, eating too late is a trigger as is gas in my GI system. I take Gas X (simethicone) and that has helped prevent afib but that's me. I also drink low sodium V8 which has potassium, and take magnesium. None of this probably applies to you!
