I have a enlarged Aorta and a Mitro Valve prolapse which are checked every year and this year and are still well withn a safe range. But a couple of months ago, I experienced shortness of breath, just walking up a short flight of stairs and also dizziness and racing heart at times. After many tests, they found AFib which is not a symptom of Marfan’s. Marfan symdrome is a connective tissue disorder that can result in a stretching aorta and eye problems. Anyway, I was told I will have to go on Cummadin for a month and then have the paddles to convert my heart rhythmn. I have read Cummadin has many side effects and I may have to be on it long term. I would like to find natural blood thinner products before I do the paddles. Is there any such product. I am atenenol beta blocker and I am now taking two instead of one 50mg to help slow down my heart rate. I have a cardiologist in Toronto Ontario, The Toronto General Hospital who is not open to natural means and has a rotten bedside manner with a short fuse to match. I have a 3% chance of a stroke at this time.
