AFib, Vertigo and Anxiety

Please do not choose a formula based on your condition, particularly with something as potentially dangerous as atrial fibrillation. Formulas are generally chosen based on your individual diagnostic pattern from a Chinese Medicine perspective - see (“treating the cause vs. the symptoms” for more). There is a good chance that either an shen bu xin wan or tian wan bu xin wan would be part of your overall treatment.

I would strongly suggest you see a licensed acupuncturist in your area and obtain proper treatment.
