Does anyone use Creatine during excersize if you have afib?

Posted by rushhome @rushhome, Jun 9 12:37pm

I see the usual cautions when looking at searches that use creatine, eliquis, afib..looks like nothing too dangerous. I try to work out at least 3 times a week and thought about adding it back into the mix. One more week to find out if I can drop Eliquis or go into a pip study!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

Good question and looking forward to any feedback. Used to take creatinine daily along with omega 3, magnesium supplement and multivitamin. 64 yrs old. work out 5-6 days/wk. take metoprolol for occasional PACs and AFIB. After about 3 months on creatinine, noticed uptick in AFIB. I dropped creatinine along with omega 3 supplements and AFIB subsided. Coincidence? Interested to understand if there is a connection.. or not. I did see benefit from creatinine use in workouts. Thanks again for posing question.

@ptzk me too, I know not to take my pre workouts but the creatine shows no interraction online. My pharmacist said go ahead but start slow. No afib for over a year and only on eliquis now. Dropped the omegas also.

I take 5 mg. Of creatine daily. Heavy workouts 3 days per week including weights. Aerobic exercise the other 4 days. Have done this for a long time. Had an ablation last December and afib free since then. Pre-ablation I was close to 100% in afib. Hope this helps.
