Sonam, but you are not taking Vascepa are you? Something over the counter instead?

SK. theres a low risk of increased rates of A Fib with EPA ..more so I think with DHA/EPA .
If you have no family history of CAD, aren't diabetic , no previous CV event and not listed as a CAD patient ...why are you taking either OmegiaVia EPA or Vascepa ?
In your case ....if theres no CV event risk ...why expose yourself to A Fib or flutter risk ?

You're taking OmegaVia 500, right? That's about as good as a DS version of V you're going to get - and the odd fluttering and chest pain is likely Afib - R-IT showed a stat sig increase in V patients, something like 1.2 out of 100 patients experienced Afib, but I have to say I'm surprised at 2 g/day I'm surprised it's due to EE-EPA. Perhaps you're a rapid metabolizer? Is there a time after dose correlation or do they occur at any time of the day? I'd stop it entirely if I were you and see if the flutters go away. It would be a shame if you couldn't take EE-EPA, because it did magical things for my chronic back pain and stiffness - I had also been treating it with long term ibuprofen use which wrecked my GI tract over time - now I'm almost allergic to it, causes severe GI stress if taken more than two days in a row, which sucks when I suffer a real injury involving acute inflammation and trauma - V ain't any good for that.
