A-Fib Causes

[Dan_Schroeder]

I went into A-fib in May of 2006.  I drank quite a bit before that and was taking Ibprophin (1200 Mg) to deal with pain caused by a fall when playing tennis.  I was treated with rate affecting drugs.  In September of 2007 I fell out of A-fib while training fro a 225 mile bike ride across Missouri.  Since that time I was on 12.5mg of Metoprolol Extended.  I went back into A-Fib in January of 2009.  I worked out quite a bit during the time I was not in A-Fib; mostly biking, weight lifitng, tennis and ping pong.  I took Amino Acids in protien powder during most of that time.  Light drinking most of the time when I was not in A-Fib.

My Dr has sent me to a Dr that is an Ablation specialist.  I would like to be sure I can not control the A-Fib by life style changes.  I think I can because of my sucess earlier.  Since the reoccurance I have not consumed any alcohol.  Searching the net I found that success has been achieved using Chelated Magnesium.  I am taking 750mg currently; A-Fib is slower, but not stopped.  I am thinking that A-fib may have reoccured because I started using protien powder without Amino Acids.

Most important issue is can A-fib be controled by life style changes or is it just an age thing and I should have the Ablation.
