AFIB-Atrial Flutter weekly cycle

 
 
Reply Sun 26 May, 2013 11:00 am
I had constant flutter, and after taking proton pump inhibitors for acid reflux and elevating my bed it is now only once a week or so, but for 24-30 hours constantly. Anyone know of the reasons why such a thing should happen and how to stop it? I am a scientist and couldn't correlate it with anything.

@robert12abcd,
I'm sure this isn't a revelation to you, but perhaps you should see your doctor?! Oh you have seen him/her? If so, what was their diagnosis?

AFIB and/or atrial flutters can be benign ... but until you see medical professional (or a few) and go through the process, you won't get the sort of help you need for a definitive diagnosis and a working solution.

For example, in my own circumstances, I've had reflux for 15 yrs. I was lucky to have had either Nexium and then, later on, Omeprazole relieved me of the pain and discomfort.

However, in the case of my increasing symptoms of arrhythmia, it took several visits to a few different Cardiologists to get at the problems I have. in my case, the reflux was not connected to my cardiology issues.

I wish you the best of luck.

@Ragman,
At-fib is usually a somewhat benign condition xcept that it can mak you susceptible to strokes at a 30% increased risk. Ive had it for several years (I have essential hypertension which can often be a precursor).
I take a blood thinner (Coumadin). Its effective at keeping blood clots from forming due to the At fib. These clots can migrate to blood vessels in the brain and cause a stroke. SO , get a doc check soon nd there are several thiners that work but remember, they all have side effects.
