i have bought some magnesium taurate tablets....does this stuff interact with warfarin ?

thanks (y) the cardiac nurse said to me as i didnt have an arrhythmia before my surgery, the AFib is probably due to inflammation of the heart, and cardioversion should be a permanent fix We shall see

Got my electrical cardioversion booked for 6th July Being in constant AFib is really annoying me now tbh :mad:

Had my 6 week post op apt at the hospital this morning. My heart is still in atrial flutter/afib The hospital are making an apt for me with in the next month to cardiovert (electrical) However the doctor did say before that time my heart may go back to sinus rhythm on it's own

I had my first *** (AZ), about a month before my surgery. Had the 2nd *** 16 days after surgery. A few hours after the 2nd ***, I went for a 20 min walk, came back, and my heart rate was at 140bpm....wouldn't come down. I had to go to A&E, and spent 3 days in hospital I can't be sure the covid...

Got an appointment for cardioversion, due to my AF following the high pulse rate incident 😂 also got fluid build up around the heart, that may need treating with diuretics or draining depending on how it develops 😂 And there was me thinking I'd got away with no complications 😏 Still in hospital...

yeah, i'm not so worried, as i know the liver given time can almost completely regenerate itself unless you're an alcoholic your liver will be alright

had my liver enzymes tested again, and they're still elevated
