Treating atrial fibrillation

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Jul 29 2009

Q: Has anyone ever given any feedback about the effects of using Resperate for someone with Atrial Fibrillation? I have recently developed it and wondered if use of the Resperate might have a favorable effect. I use it daily, sometimes twice a day.

A: The RESPeRATE is not a treatment for atrial fibrillation. If your heart beat isn’t staying controlled, go see your doctor. Over time, it can become harder to control atrial fibrillation. Drugs often need to be increased or changed. Sometimes surgical ablation is recommended. To learn more about this common problem, click here.

Please Note: Do not use RESPeRATE without consulting your physician if you suffer or have suffered in the past from: Active ischemic heart disease/unstable angina, bradycardia, severe congestive heart failure, chronic atrial fibrillation, stroke resulting in permanent impairment, chronic renal failure, severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis and emphysema, major organ failure, sleep paralysis, have a pacemaker or if you are pregnant.

What are the concerns associated with chronic atrial fibrillation, when using Resperate provided you are under active, monthly care of a physician and taking properly prescribed drugs to control? Rate is controlled, but rhythm is not - coumadin and toprox xl [25mg] taken daily.
