Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 You may be interested in the natural way to treat BPH without drugs. This is widely done in Europe. Suggested Reading : http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/1999-No1-Prostate-Tinybuttroublesom\ e ..cfm Dr Lam Flomax as Afib Trigger? Flomax (Tamsulosin) is a drug used to treat BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy). I've been taking it for several months without any change to my episodes of Afib. Recently, my urologist suggested I take Flomax in the evenings - about 2 hours before bedtime - as a means of increasing its effectiveness. I've been on this regimine two days, and each morning have experienced afib episodes - my first in months. One side effect of Flomax is heart palpitations, so it's possible that my change in schedule has somehow lead to a new side effect which may or may not change over time. I'd be interested in hearing from any other members of the group who may be taking Flomax to hear if it has triggered afib episodes.
