Seems like high DHA might be the issue with Afib. I'll do some searching on LCpharmD's posts - hope she moves to mastodon.

" The time course of PIEZO1 inactivation is prolonged by docosahexaenoic acid but reduced by eicosapentaenoic acid. Thus, the net effect will be determined in part by the docosahexaenoic acid:eicosapentaenoic acid ratio. A docosahexaenoic acid–predominant effect would result in PIEZO1 gain-of-function and increased influx of calcium and other cations (Figure [B]). Collectively, these changes would (1) prolong the action potential duration and increase the propensity for delayed after-depolarizations to trigger AF and (2) promote calcium-dependent signaling."

FWIW I have found that I can take more fish oil w/o excessive bleed time if I take 100 mcg of K1 daily. The K1 also helps with palpitations whereas K2 seemed to worsen them.

When I ate the last of my fish oil capsules, I told myself that I was going to Do The Right Thing and eat oily fish once a week. Unfortunately, I've never particularly enjoyed fish (not the fish's fault - I quite like salmon. I just don't reach for it automatically when I do my grocery shopping), and this did not last. So now, waking up every morning with aching and swollen joints (for the last couple of months), I've just got back on the fish oil capsules again. Here's hoping they do the trick! #fishoil
