So the A-fib resolved? That’s interesting. From my medical perch, all the A-fib I ever saw was in older patients, not infrequently following heart attacks, though spontaneous onset certainly occurs. I infer therefore that the mechanism for at least some young people who get it is reversible. Let us thank G-d for not-so-small favors, and pray it doesn’t return.
The calcium channel blocker no doubt is to minimize the risk of recurrence.
Allopathic medicine does some things very well. By way of contrast, I’ve had several patients who relied on naturopaths to treat high-blood pressure. Shockingly, their blood pressure remained dangerously high for extended periods, and they suffered strokes, winding up as my rehab patients.
I get that the medical profession right now is deeply compromised. Yet allopathic medications that treat blood pressure, heart, lungs, Type I diabetes, or bacterial infection are often life-critical in the very short term. Surgery is often life-saving, such as after major trauma; and appendicitis used to kill (e.g. Rudolf Valentino). Eschewing allopaths altogether is not something I would advise.
