Have Had Atrial Fibrillation. Having Mild Shortness Of Breath. Taking Bisopropol And Warfarin. Alternate Medicine?

Thanks for query.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) can cause symptoms in absence of heart failure or Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). And your symptoms are caused by fast heart rate, leaky valves and strict sense Stage A heart failure. Yes, bisoprolol is good rate control measure.
Considering your over all risk profile from age, AF, Diabetes mellitus, you are at high risk of stroke and require to be on oral anticoagulation. Only approved alternative to warfarin is dabigatran, subject to its avialability in your country. Yes, this medicine doesn't require regular testing nor food restriction.
I am not aware of any list of supplements to be avoided with Warfarin. You will have to consult your physician or Dietician with specific supplement.
Hope I had been able to clear your concerns.
