fear

Since July I have been having skipped heart beats it feels like my heart is flopping around in my chest, ive had echo stress mri and holter monitor tests. All come back NORMAL with palpitations. I see electrophysiology tomorrow and they’re in overdrive right now Iam getting sad all over again. I’m scared all day every single day even though 4 doctors have told me my heart is structually fine this is not a life threatening aarythmia this is terrifying…because idk what it is, idk whats causing it and i dont want to have this issue forever. I want to go back to my life before july. Depression is real. Anxiety is worse.

How much fish oil do you take?

4 weeks ago

@jesusatemytaco 3 pills a dya ive tried magnesium ive tried every vitamin you can think of still happening.

4 weeks ago

@jjde0514 According to the literature, about 13% of people experience dose-dependent afib with fish oil. So the more fish oil you take, the more symptoms you experience. Surprised the heck out of me when I learned this, as it seems counter-intuitive, but it is legitimate.

Discontinue the fish oil for two weeks and see if there are any changes to the afib response.
