Hello, I control my blood pressure with zestfil. However recently it has been difficult to control with the frequent afib attacks. I don't know if its the afib triggering the spike I blood presume rises or is it the blood pressure that is triggering the afib. I am currently taking aspirin to help with thinking of the blood. I discontinued the blood thinners because of the side effects, such as bleeding and low iron content. Also since taking the blood thinners, I have had issues with urinating and going to the toilet.
