THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU GET OLD

@SteelCash

 Good day fellas.

I plan to retire at 57 too, 2 1/2 years away

Is there any natural way to fix Afib?

@oldsport

 All I have on that is to make sure she’s the one, and don’t ever put up with anyone trying to force the issue. There’s no need to rush. I mean, if you’re together, what’s it matter? What’s the rush? It’s pointless.

Take your time. Get to know each other inside and out. I dated her for 9 years before we got engaged. I’m not saying to wait 9 years, but I would argue that the minimum should be 2 years, and that’s if you’re spending A LOT of time every week getting to know each other. Ask each other questions about living together. What bothers you? What is your weakness? Is it cleaning? Is it dusting? Is it organization? Is it fixing things (I don’t know how to repair anything). 

I certainly am not a marriage expert but I feel like we’re doing something right. We’re going on 26 years so at least we have that. 

Good luck! 

No natural way. I have had it for 20 years. Mine was caused by sleep apnea and instead of using the CPAC machine for it, i let it damage the left atrium which cause the afib. I tell people now, if you snore make sure you get checked for sleep apnea because if you let it go, you will end up with afib.

Just make sure minerals like you have your magnesium levels are checked, take a beta blocker and a blood thinner(like eliquis so you dont need to be checked all the time and can eat all the good green vegetables that have vitamin k, which will be affected by a blood thinner like coumidin)

You can get the watchman implant, that you see on tv.  But the gold standard is ablation and they have some really new advanced ablation systems now and also they have new 3d mapping systems that can pin point the exact spots causing the electrical problems with your heart.

I wish i didnt wait to use my cpap machine for so long, wouldnt have ended up with afib. Didnt listen to my heart doctor. Its funny now i cant sleep without my mask on and i use a full face mask, doesnt bother me 1 bit. As a former firefighter, i was already used to wearing a mask alot and dont know why i didnt want to use the cpap machine.

Some with afib can be shocked back into rhythm but its rare and most will end up back in afib.

It sucks having afib but you just deal with what life gives you. Maybe one of these days (am 63) i will get an ablation and cure my afib. Iam hoping for the medical treatments that they used on star trek to cure everybody lolllll

Good luck

i have sleep apnea and afib. i chose not to use cpap bc of my phobias uncle claus and  mr. panic attack.

now i have to get a tooth extraction and they won't put me to sleep so i have to be awake.

Yikes.

back in 2023 a guy in ohio died after being put under to have 3 pulled. died right there in chair

I need some dental implants and they want to put me to sleep, i rather be awake

@cd329

 extraction went well bc of xanex.

hope you get through your implant surgery with no issues

Glad to hear everything went well. You really wanted to be put to sleep for 1 tooth being pulled?  Its really not that bad. I needed 1 tooth on my lower arch pulled a few weeks ago and i told the dentist dont even numb it, just pull it. He told me he had to numb it, lolll.

Implants went great, got a full upper arch of new choppers

I did have to get the dentist to do it with light sedation instead of being put to sleep, cause i wouldnt have got it done then.
