In reply to Fish Oil causing Atrial Fibrillation, posted by Arthurgibson on March 13, 2003, at 23:41:44
Well....... I've pretty much said what I thought about these fish oils. This week I have had salmon sandwiches, swordfish, and tonight Sushi. I just don't believe in taking a pill for something I can eat. Anyone have any Benzo-brownies????:-) JOKE
Are you sure it was atrial fibrilation?
Keep me posted please:-)
