About Me
I'm a retired biology professor and I now teach yoga and meditation. I like to bike, workout and scuba dive but haven't been doing too much of scuba diving lately.

Close Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
My a-fib started when I was in graduate school forty years ago. It would come and go and I was put on beta blockers. It has gotten worse with age to the point that I now am in persistant a-fib and I am taking warfarin, ace inhibiter, beta blocker and CCB. My blood pressure is around 120/75 at rest with a pulse of 80. I've started taking an amino acid supplement called Taurine.
Treatments
- Coumadin Working / Worked
- Started taking this when I was diagnosed with a TIA. I've had no ill effects.
- Diltiazem Working / Worked
- Have been on this for about 10 years.
- Metoprolol Working / Worked
- This probably workd best for me. Calms me down and prevents adrenaline from making my heart go bonkers.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- When I meditate I breathe through the chakra system of the body and that slows down a-fib.
