Afib and Enemas

I was diagnosed with Afib a few months ago. The Echocardiogram was normal as was the CT/PET Scan Stress test. The heart monitor was another story. Also, the Afib has gotten much worse.I was put on Xarelto, Lopressor, and Lasix. I will bee seeing Cardiologist who specializes in Electrophysiology this week.

I normally take 2 large soapsuds enemas a week, mainly for constipation, and have been doing so every week since the Afib was diagnosed. I have not noticed any change in the Afib. I saw a few medical reviews discouraging enemas with Afib. I was just wondering if anybody has an experience with this.

Sounds like my story. I never heard that AFib and enemas wern't to be mixed. I had no bad effects from enemas and AFib. After heart ablation my AFib has been fixed. Hope the electrophysiology people will get you fixed also. Good luck.

I have dealt with AFIB for about 40 years. I finally got off blood thinners with the Watchman procedure. My bypass surgery from years ago improved things generally, and other meds keep things within acceptable ranges. I've probably taken thousands of enemas over those 40 years and had no negative consequences. I've also read of potential issues of overstimulation of the Vagal Nerve, but I try to pay attention to any unexpected or extreme reactions. In the meantime, those involuntary reactions relative to enema use and play, keep me feeling very alive and usually quite "happy".

I am not a doctor so what I say is only personal experience and may not work for you.

I have occasional AFIB, about once a month for a day on average. I noticed that if I wake up with AFIB and give myself a coffee enema retained about 15-20 minutes I have normal beat within an hour. Not sure if the coffee is a factor or just coincidence.
