I had atrial fibrillation for two solid years. My cardiologist wanted me to drink 64 ounces of fluids every day. I got tired of water and started drinking 64 ounces of low sodium V8 juice instead.
After a few weeks my atrial fibrillation converted to normal sinus rhythm.
Turns out low sodium V8 juice contains a boatload of potassium that I was evidently deficient of. Been 103 days and counting since I converted to normal sinus rhythm.
Mine was called tachycardia over 40 years ago - then A Fib - then A Flutter...NO treatment was ever prescribed. I decided I’d better stop pushing it when my husband was sick (passed away 3 years ago) and the stress I was under so I saw a doctor. Now on medication (2 different ones - one a blood thinner which I hate!). I like the sound of the low sodium V8...
A friend had ablation - no change but she never had the rapid heart beat that I experienced so I never knew WHY she had it done and neither did she. She went along with whatever the doctor said and never asked questions. She had another procedure a month ago with an implant - still doesn’t know what it was about..I look these things up but she doesn’t.
