I take a swig every morning from a bottle of cod liver oil. Quite a big swig and lately I have been taking it in the evening as well. Probably I took too much.
The Atrial Fibrillation was confirmed by ECG and a heart specialist.
Maybe it is coincidence, buy I have gone several days without any trouble and I am increasingly thinking that stopping the fish oil has helped me. After a week or two I shall re-introduce it on a much lower does.
I notice that the drugs that control fibrillation also CAUSE the problem in some peole, so maybe fish oil does the same. Helps it in some people and causes it in others.
