Testosterone replacement therapy while having Paroxysmal AFib.

[Mortjulien]

Good day everyone. Im 46 male and have paroxysmal AFib, that is Vagal induced, with about 2 episodes per month that last anywhere between 10 minutes- 2 hours.

I’m really thinking about starting testosterone replacement therapy injections, due to low levels and having lots of low level symptoms.

I’m trying to see if any members here have been on testosterone replacement therapy and have you seen any changes in AFib episodes?

I had the opposite durring prostate cancer treatment with no issues.

Thank you for that reply Bob

I did read a study suggesting supplementing low T levels could help afib, so I asked me ep if he had any issue with me taking it. I never went ahead, but the ep had no issues with me taking it.

I sure will keep updated down the road some if I start.

Have you consulted an experienced Urologist about testosterone replacement ? There can be side effects. Not sure about the effect on afib.

Best to you.

I would try taking magnesium taurate first.

I looked into testosterone some years ago (as part of the many Lifestyle changes I considered) and my conclusion was there were too high a risk of side effects. Suggest you do good homework first and talk to an experienced Alternative Practitioner.

Hi, this for my better half - why magnesium and taurate in particular?

[Cabinessence in reply to bassets]

Mg is known to be very good for the heart muscle and the Taurate version appears to be the type which is better absorbed aka more bioavailable.

[bassets in reply to Cabinessence]

Thank you, but what does it do, if anything, for the prostate?

[Cabinessence in reply to bassets]

Sorry but I've assumed that secondtry was referring to Mg helping with AFib, not the Prostate?

[bassets in reply to Cabinessence]

Sorry, must have got it wrong again. I'm in the midst of a bout of flu so a bit dodgy.

[secondtry in reply to bassets]

For prostate Prostex from Lamberts healthcare worked well for me.

[bassets in reply to secondtry]

Thank you

One of my family members has low testosterone and ectopics as part of long covid symptoms. Both started at same time. The testosterone treatment doesn't seem to have affected the ectopics positively or negatively. They are every other beat at times and cardiologist not concerned. Review in 2 years. Don't know if this offers anything. I'd be interested in any results you encounter though.

[Mortjulien in reply to Fullofheart]

Thank you for that info. I will keep posted I. A couple of months after I get my levels where they need to be.

[MisterMagoo]

Whilst not mentioning Afib, Mark Lewis on YouTube has recently posted a very illuminating, considered - and mildly entertaining - piece on therapeutic testosterone therapy that you might find useful

[Mortjulien in reply to MisterMagoo]

I will look for it today. Thank you!

[Bikedennis]

No issues here. T gel for several years.

[Mortjulien in reply to Bikedennis]

That’s good to hear! Thanks for the reply!

I have read that low testosterone can cause arrhythmias. Please keep us posted and best of luck .✊️👌

[Mortjulien in reply to Fryguy]

Will do. Thank you!
