Beta blockers and most antiarrhythmics are unsuitable because resting heart rate is already low at 50-55 bpm. Plan is catheter ablation to …

Ablation is one option I am considering and have a cardiology appointment booked. Did you use GLP-1 medications while the AFib was active?

Four weeks off all GLP-1 and weight-loss peptides and diarrhea has been gone for at least three weeks. Sinus rhythm returned after electric…

Apixaban 5 mg twice daily.

At 7.5 mg tirzepatide or 6 mg retatrutide the diarrhea became severe with cramps. At 5 mg retatrutide stools stay loose; psyllium makes the…

Doctor agreed that diarrhea alone probably would not cause AF but a sudden blood-pressure drop could. Online information indicates GLP-1 ag…

Dose splitting reduced the diarrhea but did not eliminate it.
