There has been no scientific trials that confirm the connection with Agent Orange and Afib but the VA has added this to things that may have been caused by the agent. Other problems that can be associated with Agent Orange are PTSD, attention deficit disorder, skin cancer, prostate enlargement among others. But just because the VA and the courts have ruled that vets can get treatment, it doesn't mean that there is actually any direct correlation.
I have observed a direct connection between digestion and atrial fibrillation in my own case. Following are my guidelines for avoiding a bout of AF: * Stay away from extremely rich, greasy hard to digest foods. * Eat slowly, chew carefully and take smaller portions. * Eliminate foods that cause a build up of gas. This includes carbonated beverages. * Wait for at least four hours after eating before going to bed. * Consider slanting your bed up a few degrees to minimize acid reflux. * Alcohol, MSG and caffeine may contribute to AF.
Its an indicator of congested heart failure.
A biological agent
The most common reasons for having an orange tongue are acid indigestion or heartburn. Another cause for an orange tongue could be from a bacterial imbalance.

yes,it is. lots have said no but yes.
I asked you this question.Does anyone,including cardiologists even know?
The amount of atropine in these eyedrops is insufficient to cause atrial fib. Many medications actually contain trace amounts of atropine to discourage abuse.
Yes, it could. It would be seen in the chronic form of Q fever.
these arrhythmias can cause a blood clot to form in the heart. This can lead to a stroke or a blockage carried by the blood flow (an embolism ) anywhere in the body's arteries. Atrial fibrillation is responsible for about 15% of strokes
It is easy, leave the above things, as it's a precipitating cause of your atrial fibrillation. Next you can use a calcium channel blocker, or in extreme cases a ICD is implanted. Talk it out with your doctor, may be he will run a couple of tests.
No , radiation and Agent Orange have no connection
See website: Agent Orange
Hi again, Gene. Atrial fibrillation is generally associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and much of this is due to its relationship with ischemic stroke and cardiac disease like heart failure. Among men, estimates range from 1.3-3.5 times more likely for strokes, cardiovascular events (e.g. heart attack), heart failure and death. In your case, however, your risks are probably lower and may even approximate those of people without atrial fibrillation; this is because you have lone atrial fibrillation (at least by some criteria-it is more commonly diagnosed among younger people). Lone atrial fibrillation is diagnosed when no underlying cause or related illness, like heart disease or diabetes, can be found. Because your atrial fibrillation is unassociated with any other symptoms or findings of heart disease, and because you are a non-smoker without obesity or hypertension, your prognosis is better than that of atrial fibrillation in general. The Pradaxa you take is to further reduce your risk of having a stroke.
Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is a very dangerous condition. In A-fib, the heart is trying to pump too fast, but is uncoordinated. This means that blood is not circulated around the body well. It also causes blood to swirl around inside the heart and can lead to forming blood clots. If one of these blood clots goes to the lungs it can cause a pulmonary embolis, or if it goes to the brain it can cause a stroke, both of which could be deadly.
he surely did
yes
