Preventions	sleep and try to each all natural foods, unprocessed foods! I have a lot of trouble if I eat out ! Benadryl seems to calm the beast (fast heart beat)
Current medications/side effects	none for a-fib, I take children's benadyl liquid 1 teaspoon when I start feeling the irregular beats start,, that always follows with a-Fib. Warfirin , do you know that this medicine is rat poision?
Past medications/side effects	Ameordorin ate the crap out of my liver,, I was on it for 8 days at 800 mgs a day and it almost killed me. I am allergic to all heart meds beta blockers, calcuim channel blockers and ace inhabitors. I have problems with all of them! Lo press,diggoxion and the like all caused major prpblems.
