Has anyone successfully cured atrial fibrillation or flutter? If so, please tell me what worked for you.?

Question: I have atrial fibrillation and flutter. I have had them for three years now, and although some things seem to help, nothing makes them totally go away. Has anyone permanently cured this condition. Docs have tried many meds, atenolol, beta blockers, digoxin, you name it, nothing helps, drugs onliy make it worse. I've tried lot of alternative therapies, and although some help, I'd like to be rid of it for good!

Answers:
If you are a candidate for a pacemaker it might make you feel better by regulating your heart beat.
Kind of extream but depends on how much it is effecting your life.

My mom was on digoxin for a while and her heart rate went down in the 40's..eventually she came off the meds and is fine..get a second opinion.have been to a cardiologist?..

Drs thought I had this, but i was wrongly diagnosed. Turned out to be a severe allergy to MSG. Try cutting it out completely from your diet. Worth a try.p.s. It's in every processed food almost, and you can't trust the ingrediant list, sigh.

Meds can only take you so far. Absolute "cures" are myths better left for voodoo doctors and the medicine man. Your condition depends on whether you have "unstable" vs. "stable" atrial fibrillation. In both cases, however, there is a therapy called a "cardioversion protocol". Ask your cardiologist about it and whether you are a good candidate. Unfortunately, medicine is an inexact science, and on average, 3 cardiologists will probably prescribe 3 different therapies. Any cardioversion protocol involves a followup regimen of meds to normalize cardiac function. Good luck. Hey, at least dealing with atrial fib is better than dealing with med school. You still have a life.
