This is indeed true. For me, it resolves in about 90 mins with 300mg. Thad said, after I started taking magnesium and potassium supplements, I stopped having episodes. Haven’t had one since 2017
@@seattledutch I take Magnesium Taurate recommended by the cardiologist making this video. 400mgs daily for men and 300mgs daily for women. All the best, my AFib is greatly improved.
@LettyK Thank you! Currently using Magnesium Glycinate, but am maybe a bit too conservative with dosage. Do you know Whether it matters you get any Magnesium from diet?
I had a-fib that didn't respond to medication. After about four months of many horrible episodes I had an ablation. It was one of the best things I've done in my life. It's going on fourteen months without an a-fib episode. I'm back to having a normal life.
I was put in that when I started having Afib. Was to take it twice a day, but watching one of your vids a couple of years ago, only take it when required. Works for me.
I had AFIB - and took Flecainide for 2 months with no benefit morning and night - then after a cardio- version - my Doctor kept me on it - he says it will prevent AFIB from returning - its been almost 2 years now.
I've had my Flecainide increased from 50mg to 100mg. My rhythm has changed from fast AF to slow AF and i feel dreadful. I feel faint sitting down and it's very frightening. So im now worried it might be making it worse. Its such a long wait to get a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist i don't know what to do.
If you have such paroxysmal Afib for which you can stop it handily with flecainide as "pill in the pocket" I wonder if you then also- at the same time- should be taking anti-coagulantia as pill in the pcket or maybe even regularily be on that? Your professional opinion on this very appreciated!
Dr York...i have PVCS around the clock ..they gave me this med..it works some of the time but every day. I still have episodes...is there something that's better!?
I have this as a pill-in-the pocket but i'm terrified to take it. I've heard from my EP a small number of people it could actually put you into a more dire arrhythmia. I have yet to take it but I haven't had an episode where I've felt the need to.
I would love to know why my doctor only offers me Eliquis or Warfarin? Are they the only two meds for AFIB? One super expensive and one super cheap. If it can be used to terminate an episode of AFIB, why can't it be used on long term permanent AFIB?
In my experience with AFib, those are prescribed to keep the blood from clotting. Folks with AFib are 5 times more likely to have a stroke due to the blood clots, which is why maybe you’re being prescribed anti-coagulants.

Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲 super doc
No heart drugs work for me. Had an ablation but I still have problems. It is what it is.
Me too. 2 ablations, but still have issues.
Thank you, I was just diagnosed with paroxsymal afib. Rapid and short. Hasn't happened again in a month. Seeing the specialist soon.

Works perfectly for me.

Propranolol works for me very well
💭💭 YORK CARDIOLOGY could YOU please do a very important video on having atrial fibrillation (afib) and taking antibiotics 👆🏻😱🚨⚠️💭👆🏻

It's very rare. There are rare side effects to every medication.
I read first dose should be given in hospital on monitor since up to 5% chance of problem with it
I would love to know why my doctor only offers me Eliquis or Warfarin? Are they the only two meds for AFIB? One super expensive and one super cheap. If it can be used to terminate an episode of AFIB, why can't it be used on long term permanent AFIB?

Can it help resolve Afib with RVR?
Can you take Flecainide everyday?
Like your jammies, Doc! Are you ready for bed? 😘
Doctor can you do a video review of AF and amidarone
