I just started taking omega 3 fish oil to help lower my triglycerides. i read that it may cause afib. i already have pacs and pvcs. i told the nurse at my doctors i was going to start fish oil. should i continue taking the fish oil?

I haven't recommended discontinuing omega 3 fish oil on the basis of recent studies. . I do recommend highly purified products and no more than combined EPA & DHA of 1000 mgs per day unless you're treating high triglycerides which require higher doses. I believe that omega 3 fish oils contribute to cardiovascular health. If you're overly concerned you could try EPA alone.
