@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member Thanks so much for posting this! The more info we have the better decisions we can make. Hugs🤗
I am so confused with my research. Most of my readings suggest AFIB will not kill you. However strokes (more likely than not) will kill you. Many cardiologists said I would die within 3 years without the pills. I took them for three days and ended up in emerg. and refused to take pills at all. I take suppliments instead.

This video was recorded in 2018 so ignore the bits about being in NY and York seminars.

I just can't seem to eat healthy. I know exactly what I should be eating and how much but it's like I don't even care. I survived a heart attack wouldn't you think that I would want to prevent another one if I could. It feels like I don't even care because I'll eat whatever I want to and it's not good. It's like pass the cheesecake in the chocolate now please
