Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hi All, Think that you guys are right about the digestion--eating smaller meals more often and that digestion can trigger the fib. There is information on vagal stuff on the web--it is complicated, but it is all tied in to digestion, heart, etc. I even have had trouble when having " gas " or a bowell movement. My doctor absolutely agreed about this stuff. In addition to a-fib I have arrhythmias that necessitated a defibrillation implant. Am doing better since starting dofetilide (Tikosyn)--altho' I'm not happy about taking 500 mcgs. Has anyone tapered down to 250?? Take care you all, Lee from Northern NJ (dofetilide, digoxin, prinivil, Zebeta, aspirin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
