A-Fib has increased in frequency with IV Doxy....herx or drug reaction?
I will see my mainstream cardiologist this afternoon.
Please share any experience you have had with A-Fib & Lyme and Co-infections.

I would definitely try to change meds. I don't tolerate doxy on many levels.
I don't think I ever took enough of it to see if it affected my heart.
Keep us posted on how you are doing!

Thanks for your input, TuTu!
I had a visit with the cardiologist Tuesday. My EKG was normal
I've had increased A-Fib incidents since starting the doxy. Since Magnesium is a big player in A-Fib, I am also wondering if the doxy is depleting my mag stores. I'm working on that aspect and considering a change in drugs.

I'm going whole hog with mag oil topical application three times a day and gradually upping my mag malate.....it has to be very slow because of bowel tolerance, going too high too fast can defeat the purpose (been there, done that).
Yup.....taking COQ10 too and phos serine, fish oil, L-carnitine, taurine and arginine.
Any other ideas?
