Is there a way to reverse atrial fibrillation?

I would avoid natural remedies in this case -- the cardio drugs are very touchy in terms of dosing (you will probably get blood tests if, for example, they use wafarin).  And foxglove is lethal while digitalis is ok.  The therapeutic range is fairly small.  And the consequences of failure to treat (higher risk of stroke, etc.) are pretty significant.\n\nThe other way is cardio version (electric shock to your heart -- you will be sedated first).\n\nStill, if you want the natural thing -- go to a naturopath.  Do not rely on the internet or a health food store.  This is serious and deserves the attention of someone with at least a ND.  Personally, I would want a board certified cardiologist....

I have taken numerous cardiac classes and would like to help you, but I need more information. What do you mean "working off 60% of its power"? Did your specialist measure your MABP? If you'd like to give me more info so I can help you out you can e-mail me @ mary.edwards4543@my.sinclair.edu

Yes annie is right, one of the best substances to reverse this is Grape seed extract, there is a specific formula that is better then pretty much all the other ones but giving the name would be soliciting.

Try talking to your doctor.

That's tachycardia.  It's too fast.  Go see a doctor.  Does it occur after you do intense exercise or does it occur out of nowhere?  Is it a common thing for you?  If you have atrial fibrillation, you could throw a clot to your brain and get a stroke.  Find out the reason you have the fast heart rate.  This is no joke.  Go see a physician.\n\nNormal heart rate should be 60-100 for an adult.

I think other answers are great but these methods will work only after you have the problem. \nPlease try to eliminate the root cause of the problem. Which in most cases is the overacidity. \nPlease look at my today's response under ringing of the years.\n- avoid or eliminate acidic foods; take papaya enzyme, calcium and magnesium to reduce existing acidity. also no whole grains please. try Jergens soap. also no hot shower please.\nyou may feel difference after 10 days \ngood luck

No exercises, (save light house hold activity and maybe a little, gentle walking)  Now is not the time to engage in cardiac rehab.  Be sure to have your nitro in your pocket all of the time.  Take the nitro with ANY chest pressure, discomfort, tightness, fullness, or shortness of breath especially associated with activity.  Do not wait for it to be "painful."  Trust me on this one.  \n\nYour condition is unknown (therefore unstable) and it is impossible (and foolish) to predict what might be the case until you have your study.  The date for your angio seems uncharacteristically far away.  Usually if a person fails an exercise test we have an angiogram done within a week and often within a couple days...even the next day.  Something seems inconsistent there.  Is the date at your convenience?  If so, have it done as soon as possible so the unknown becomes known and your cardiologist can devise a treatment plan with better information.\n\nGood luck to you.

I would expect the pre ablation symptoms to take longer than this to resolve, I am hoping that your doctor will be seeing you back in the next few weeks too, just call his/her office and ask if you should get some rehab as they do after bypass surgery etc. good luck

This is the purpose of this medication.  YOu obviously have a tachy (fast) arrhythmia, likely atrial fibrilation.  If this is the case then you need a beta-blocker(like sotalol).  Understand, the goal of your treatment is controlling your heart rate which is what this drug does.  If you are unhappy with this drug in particular talk with your cardiologist about another beta-blocker (but understand the side-effects are the same) OR consider a cardioversion or EP study.  Stop taking these medications can be life-threatning and set you up for increased risk of stroke

I would like to suggest that you call The American Heart Association.  They can give you some leads, and a support group.

There are minimally invasive interventional procedures such as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(ptca),and intravascular radiotherapy.I have 3 stents and they made a small cut in my arm to implant them.I was in and out of the hospital in 24 hours.But I have to take blood thinner for the rest of my life.(I should have taken the 120grand and died happy with a nice sportscar.)I don't think there are any noninvasive ways.In some cases meds & a low fat,low sat.fat diet can help, but does not clear the blockage alone.A healthy diet & no smoking.(which I still do) helps.Good luck.

No there is no cure, but medications can lessen the effects.  However the damage cannot be reversed short of joint replacement.

First I would ask for an echocardiogram with & without saline (water bubbles); this will show any & hopefully all holes in your heart. I had it done & they found I was missing a chamber and had holes on the opposite side of my heart which required them to "cath" my heart. They make a small slice in the groin area & go through a main artery in your leg up to your heart. I'm only 5' & 100 lbs & they couldn't knock me out with morphine (I watched the entire procedure & ticked off my cardiologist -lol). My personal opinion would be 1. ask questions, make a list if you have to, 2. check out the surgeons & their history, & 3. if they are as good as they check out to be the procedure will be a cakewalk for you. I was 38 when they found all of this & now I'm 43 and alive to see my baby (23) get married this coming August to a wonderful young lady. My Dad had 2 triple arterial bypasses & he lost a leg in Korea and God bless him, he'll be 79 this July. Yes, I had a good role model but it is normal to get upset when a Dr mentions a prob w/the heart & that you have to face surgery. I now know how a lobster feels having its chest cracked but thorasic & cardiac surgery is so advanced that I can promise you that you'll be fine. Try to keep a positive attitude and have faith; they told me after 3 days that if I could walk up & down a flight of stairs 4 times, I could go home..........I bolted & got my boney butt outta that hospital & back into my own home in no time. My thoughts & prayers are with you (Navy brat here) but above all : keep the faith.\nBeth

Geez, you need to ask your cardiologist about this.  What is your ejection fraction?  What is the cause of the blockage?  What is your current activity level?  I am sure he will tell you that you need to have a stress test if you haven't had one already.\n\nOn the other hand, if it is safe to exercise at all, the *best* place to start is with a cardiac rehabilitation program run by a hospital.  If you live in or near a major city, there is certainly at least one such program in your, and maybe several.  Ask your doctor.  \n\nCardiac rehab has you exercise--on a treadmill for example--while you are connected (wirelessly) to a heart monitor that is watched by a nurse.  The nurse can tell immediately if you even start to get into trouble.  I cannot emphasize how much confidence it gave me after heart surgery.  I was so nervous at first about going out to walk on my own.  But this way, I could push myself a little without any worry.  If I had a problem, they would see it probably even before I felt it.  And if something really bad happened, I was right there in the hospital.  \n\nMost insurance will pay for the cost of cardiac rehab, usually with a time limit of 3 months (assuming 3 visits per week).  It saved my life, and I'm sure that if you can exercise at all, this is the best way to get your life back.  Best of luck!!
