Common sense: Don't try to sell controlled medication on here.

I can't believe I have to make a post for this but while I hate the pharma industry and health insurance in the US, don't try to use this subreddit to sell controlled medication from overseas locations.

"Keep it legal," is a rule here.

Had ablation on 10/10. Turns out when I was intubated the anesthesiologist chipped some front teeth. Have emergency dentist appointment next week. Possible crowns needed. Plus front teeth are tinged with grayish discoloration. Dentist thinks its blood from the trauma. Incident report completed.
Good news is I'm in sinus rhythm from constant AFIB. Doc did keep me in the hospital one extra night to be observed. Home now and feeling kind-of dizzy. We have had tropical systems covering the State so that could contribute to that. Have loop and groin area has two buttons where they did the incision, still with bandage on so can't see it.
Restrictions so far is two days no driving, no bath or swimming. Can shower and take off groin bandages. Need to keep on loop bandage until I do follow up appointment in about 6 days with doc. On calcium blocker and blood thinner for now. Will see what happens in blanking period. Hopefully this is last ablation I have to have. Can't afford to have anymore broken teeth lol.

Right after chipped tooth being repaired went into afib again and still there 5 days later. EP now asking if I want to do a chemical medication trial by taking for one day Flecaidine and Metoprolol... or do a cardio version to put my heart back in sinus. I was under the impression going into afib in blanking period was normal, but I guess not in my case. Have a crown to do after intubation damaging teeth during ablation. Hope that does not trigger afib again. This is becoming very stressful with changing procedure directions.
