I have wolf parkinson's white, high bld press & tachycardia. i'm on propranolol 20 mg 2x daily. can i take omega 3 fish oil? will it help heart?

Not a fish problem!: Wpw is a syndrome involving the conduction (electrical) system of the heart. On the other hand, most heart conditions (at least in the us) involve blocked arteries which omega-3 is supposed to be good for. In my opinion, ablative therapy is far more effective for problematic WPW than omega-3 or any other available option.
