Ask the doctor. I am 86 and have atrial fibrillation. I started taking warfarin to avoid blood clots, but right away developed a very high bleeding time and needed to be hospitalized. I don't want to go through that again. Is there another approach for me?

Ask the doctor. Is it okay to eat leafy greens while taking warfarin? I was surprised to see spinach and kale recommended as "superfoods" for heart health in your March issue. I take Coumadin for atrial fibrillation and have been told to avoid green leafy vegetables. I had always enjoyed these foods in the past, so I'd be glad to know if it's okay to eat them.

Ask the doctor. I am 95 years old and recently began treatment for early macular degeneration in one eye. My retinologist said that PreserVision might help protect the other eye. But she cautioned that it contains a large dose of vitamin E, which could cause a bleeding problem with the Coumadin I take because of a mechanical aortic valve. What would you suggest?

I recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation. My doctor gave me pills to slow my heart, but I then had to go into the hospital to have my heart shocked back to its normal rhythm. I'm now taking Coumadin to prevent stroke. I feel fine, but worry that the fibrillation will come back. What brings on this condition?

I was told to stop taking my daily betablocker (Coreg)before a myocardial perfusion test. I was hospitalized with chest pain and a bout of atrial fibrillation. I have cardiomyopathy and was prescribed amiodarone and warfarin, but I stopped taking them when I learned of their side effects. Was it wrong to stop taking the Coreg?
