Should HRP Be Stopped Before Taking Treatment For A Fib?

Thank you. What a great discovery! I have a-fib, with events almost daily. I m well aware of sugar, dehydration, caffeine as problems and have had a little of all today. Am in fairly severe afib currently, but not panicked. My question now is relative to hormone therapy. I ve been taking bioidentical hormone replacement for years, haven t been checked for at least 5 as to new amounts needed. Im 54, post menopausal. What is the connection between femail hormones and a fib? I m wondering if I should stop HRP. Thanks.

hello madam..
chances of A.fib due to HRT is unlikely..but there are chances of heart attack..as you already have Afib its better you take opinion of your cardiologist and gynec to stop HRT..
do not worry the percentages are less but am saying not to take a risk..
i don't think you have a severe fib..had that been the case doctor would have advised for some ablative procedures etc..
if you have anymore doubts feel free to ask me..
