Does anyone know why ibuprofen and Bisoprolol are not compatible?
I've also read that Turmeric and Ginger are good alternatives as they have anti inflammatory properties and also that Turmeric has anti clotting properties, does anyone have any experience or knowledge of these please?...Cheers Sam

Forget Ibuprofen if you have any arrhythmia especially AF as it has been shown to actually be a cause of AF. It really is a never touch thing. regardless of any drug interactions.
YEP.....I can attest to that. I made that mistake on a trip before I knew I had afib. Had drank a margarita after being on the beach all day in the heat...... then was having chest discomfort with what I thgt was pvc’s so I took Advil and got in a tub of warm water to try to relax. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital, my heart went crazy with I had no idea what kind of beats at the time, but I had extreme chest discomfort for hours and hours. I never touch ANY drug now regardless. My mother also landed in ICU after taking advil with her afib.
Tumeric and ginger are fine taken as food or drink but avoid supplements for several reasons, especially if you take anti-coagulants as they may increase the efficacy of the anticoagulants, increasing your risks of bleeds.
Can only comment for myself. I have prescribed Apixaban for Aprox afib. Been on it 3 years to mo known I'll effects.I have also taken from an earlier time my own remedy of Tumeric Golden Milk. Separately root Ginger and yes raw Garlic (by product of the latter being best contraceptive known to man). All to no known detrimental side effects. I take the Ginger and Turmeric to try and ward off the effect of years of sports and concomitant injuries. Garlic to reduce hypertension. Which I believe in my case is genetic as I'm certainly not overweight nor inactive and eat mostlymplant based Mediterranean diet.
I am not going to waken up the Afib Gods or should that be Devils to my case by stating how long since an attack.
I can't really help with your question but I've been warned off Ibuprofen tablets because I take Ramipril which is an ACE inhibitor. My GP said that Ibuprofen gel was fine though?!!!I might see if Dr. Google has an answer!!! xxx
Yea I occasionally use it but if you are male and over 65 they take you off the diclofenac tablets because of the likelihood of heart problems. It was the only medication that worked for me but took me off it and now of course NSAIDS as diclofenac is is a no no with AF.
Blimey! So paracetamol is the only choice for you. Our GP has decided injections might be the way forward for my intense arthritic pain. I can't have codeine as I hallucinate!! You have to smile or you'd have a breakdown! All the very best. Jan xxx
