Mg and Fe are important factors in health. If you don't get enough magnesium, and if you're borderline or actually anemic (low on folic acid, low ferratin levels, or iron deficient), it can lead to all sorts of issues. You may need a full blood assay to find out if you're systems are working properly AND IF you're getting the right nutrients. Liver enzymes and creatinine levels will be revealing...again...blood.

Have you not been prescribed apixaban or equivalent to anti-coagulate? I know, the cost is choking for many, but it's great insurance, well tolerated, and works like a hot damn. It doesn't 'thin' the blood, only slows coagulation. This is key for any arrhythmias....exceedingly important to help prevent strokes. Stroke is the leading lethal problem in arrhythmias.

Hi, I have never been prescribed that. I do have anaemia issues , cost is a huge issue for me. I am in Canada and pay for my prescription s. The arrhythmia is very upsetting as I am an active person and finding it hard to stay that way.

I was on Eliquis and my INR was through the roof. Drs didn’t care !! I requested Coumadin. It’s been working just fine , of course , I’m still getting finger sticks every two weeks, I’ve had AFIB and other arrhythmias for many years , going for the second ablation in October. I can’t wait !
