Yikes. I have also been in a honeymoon period with my afib. Cross

fingers, no episodes since late April/May. Maybe once a month

ectopics start to kick up and I have to exercise real self control to

calm them down (no yard work, etc. for a few days) but manage to do

so. However, my migraines, which had virtually disappeared, have

come back during that period.

Well, I sure would rather have migraines, since Imitrex gets rid of

them quickly, and I don't panic about them like I do when in afib or

when I think afib may start.

Hi,

I wonder whether that still proves to be a sensitivity to something

eaten. In my case, cheese used to be the culprit, it could give me

terrible headaches. Also molasses in warm water makes me quite ill.

Certain foods eaten consistantly over a period of time can create

sensitivities.

Again, keeping a log here helps.

.I didn't get the migraine,stomach problems like you do but I did

seem to go back through previous stages of health[physical and

mental], a bit like a trip down memory lane.I expect these things

will

resolve themselves in time.Angus

: How did it go at work today? I hope it went reasonably

well for you.

I was out all day doing things(I usually won't venture out) and my

pulse varied from 55 to 70, bp still in the low range and varies

also, ll7/70 is the high. I did not have any strange symptoms today

and felt a sense of well being even though we went to visit a friend

at the hospital, who was having chemotherapy for the first

time...Also about 6 days ago I cut my Paxil dose to 5mg per day and

I have much more energy and actually feel better emotionally.

Does Afib cause depression...because I sure was depressed since

my second hospital admission.

Should we consider ourselves cardiac patients and strictly follow a

cardiac diet? My cardiologist says that even skinny people get

afib. Regards,

Isabelle NSR DAY 4 Thanks to all of you, my husband, my doctor and

G-D

Fran, correct me if I'm wrong, but you got off your meds, didn't

you? Which is why you got rid of those side effects?
