Hi

Reading about this drug - used for relief of inflammation. Also used to kill cancer cells. Lots of side effects to watch for.

Most AF over time goes persistant.

Monitor your BP and heart rate and we can look and see if something is out of kilter.

This drug can give you rapid heart rate.

Are you under a heart specialist with AF?
