CBD Oil and How Does it effect AfIB?

[Maagaa]

A friend told me to get CBD oil for pain she said it helped her fiber myalgic pain and calmed her heart. After giving it much thought I asked a professional about this oileand was told it can make your heart go into AFIB and I am in steady sinus rhythm at this time and don’t want to disturb this. Does anyone have an opinion on this subject?

I have not seen any controlled studies regarding this possible situation. There is no obvious biochemical reason that CBD or THC for that matter should be detrimental to AFib patients. Personally I had been in AFib, now controlled by meds and have been using both for chronic pain and have stayed in NSR for a year. What meds are you on to control your aFib?

Presently on no heart meds except metropolo. Had 2 conversions and the last one worked. Was on amiodarone but got hypothyroidism numbness in feet and legs calcium deposits in eyes so my EP took me off the amiodarone and just left me on magnesium 400. I have very bad arthritis so was thinking of the oil but a friend told me you will flip back. Haven’t seen my EP to discuss this yet

I think the thing to worry about is if you are taking Warfarin it may interact with CDB in a dangerous way!!!!!!! Cheers G!adie
