I thought I was crazy, and can still be on other fronts, but, the other day I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling like my heart was in a quiver. I just kept on meditating on a normal heart rhythm and it seemed to start back on its own…then I read your article…ps. it usually is when I have had more than 2 cocktails….geez, getting old!

Hi Stuart – counselling has helped me hugely – I always felt that my symptoms were due to underlying trauma trapped in the body from childhood and now I am addressing this the symptoms have pretty much gone – I also use homeopathic remedies and the Paleo diet – cutting out most sugar has really helped my energy levels and cutting out wheat has helped prevent bloating which I feel can trigger an AFIB attack. Am happy to answer any questions (as long as not too personal!) you may have about the efficacy of counselling in helping this condition.

“Sound”s interesting. No pun intended.

I’ve had AFIB for 25 years (originally told it was Mitral Valve Prolapse) and only recently (at age 54) did I start getting “better be careful” from my Doctors and become aware about blood clots.

I was told to take Metropolol, but decided to give up smokes then nicotine gum and then caffiene. The last monster to give up will be alcohol. Or at least massive quantities of.

If there is one sure AFIB driver, it’s the three martini lunch.

I’ll try the recording and report back.

Curious about what you mean by your heart “ached” like any muscle would.

Stuart, I have been treating my own afib with alternative approaches since February of 2008. In addition to the supplements I write about on this site, I have found Chinese herbs to be most helpful. I know of no other site dedicated to alternative approaches, but a good resource for information about afib is http://www.afibbers.net/. I’ve also written a short paper on afib, nutrition, and Chinese dietary therapy that I would be happy to send you, if you are interested. When I find time, I’ll post the information to this site.

hello everyone. I am a staff nurse in England and writing a paper on atrial fibrillation, medical drugs used, pharmacokinetics etc. I wanted to look into alternative and complimentary therapies that are out there and there successes/failures, and wondered if anyone could give me advice.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
Stuart.

Here is the web address: http://www.heartbeatcd.com/ ($9.95 if you download) What I have noticed is that after listening to it for awhile you start to think its your own heart beat. i still have some skipped beats but at least not AF. The only problem with it is that there are 6 different tracks of heart sounds and the one I felt most comfortable with was only 10 min. long so i have to keep restarting it. But I don’t care. It really calms me down and keeps my mind off my own heart.
