A-Fib Patients’ Best Advice #4: Don’t Just Manage Your A-Fib with Drugs. Seek your Cure.
Drugs have a role, but other treatment options target a cure.
Daniel Doane, Sonora, California, USA, shares his mistake: “Don’t think that the medication is a long term solution. Don’t put up with nasty side effects. That was the mistake I made. I thought I could tough out the medication as long as I stayed out of A-Fib.”
Terry DeWitt, Massachusetts, USA, advises act sooner than later: “I knew I could continue on medication for several years, but I was concerned about the remodeling of my heart. …I would need an ablation…and sooner seemed better when my heart was still strong.”
Max Jussila, Shanghai, China, says meds are for the short term: “Do not listen to your doctors if they suggests medication as a long-term solution! The doctors who see medication as a solution commit serious negligence and are ignorant of the terrible nature and consequences of Atrial Fibrillation.”
