Updated on 7-27-2014 by Simon Hill: Added problem with SIM card, glitch with Nexus 7 not recognized by computer, camera issues, and updated won't recharge or rapid battery drain with new solutions.
The undisputed king of the hill when it comes to small Android tablets is Google's Nexus 7, manufactured by Asus. It has been selling well since its July 2012 release and Google updated the line with a new version – the Nexus 7 (2013) in July 2013. It has a much higher resolution display, a faster processor, more RAM, and a camera, but Google has already acknowledged problems with multi-touch and GPS, which we deal with below.
While the diminutive tablet has been well received by critics and consumers alike, no product is perfect. That's why we've dug up a list of Nexus 7 problems and tried to find potential solutions and workarounds for anyone suffering. On this page we'll deal with the latest 2013 version, so if you have the older 2012 model then skip to page two.

Nexus 7 (2013) Issues and Bugs
Problem: SIM card not recognized or no signal
A few people with the LTE version of the Nexus 7 (2013) have run into problems where the SIM card seems to stop working. This is usually accompanied by a "No SIM card" message. Sometimes they get the message "SIM card added" and a prompt to restart. For some people the network just seems to go missing and there's no service, but they don't get any message about the SIM card. Bear in mind that SIM cards from U.S. carriers will not necessarily work in European Nexus 7 tablets and vice versa because they may use different channels.
Potential solutions:
- Try rebooting the Nexus 7 by holding down the Power button, ignore the prompts and wait for it to restart.
- Try pulling down the notification shade and going into Airplane mode and then turn it off again.
- Try turning the Nexus 7 off and removing the SIM card, make sure the card and tray are clean and then reinsert it before turning the tablet back on.
- Check what your Access Point Name settings should be with your mobile service provider and then go to Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names and make sure they're correct.
- If you're able to use another SIM card then test it in your Nexus 7 just to verify that it's not a faulty SIM card.
Glitch: Nexus 7 not recognized by computer
If you find that you plug your Nexus 7 into your computer or laptop using the USB cable and the computer fails to recognize it then you're not the only one. Luckily it should be an easy fix in the settings. If not you may need a new driver, here's what you should try:
Potential solutions:
- Go to Settings > Storage and tap the three vertical dots at the top right of the screen and then USB computer connection. Make sure that Media device (MTP) is ticked and try plugging it in to your computer again.
- It's also worth plugging it into a different USB port and trying a different cable, just in case that's your problem.
- If that didn't work and your computer is running Windows 7, you can try connecting the Nexus 7 via USB then right click on Computer from the Start menu and click on Device Manager. You should see the Asus Android Devices listed at the top and you can expand and right click on Android Composite ADB Interface and then choose Update Driver Software… At the next pop up choose Browse my computer for driver software then let me pick from a list and choose USB Composite Device and click Next to update.
Problem: Camera not working
There have been a few problems reported with the Nexus 7 camera. Some people have found that there's no option to switch to the rear camera in the camera app. Others have tried to start the app only to see the message "Camera error. Can't connect to the camera."
Potential solutions:
- Try holding down the Power button until the tablet reboots.
- Go to Settings > Apps, swipe over to the All tab and find the Camera. Tap Clear cache and then try loading it up again.
- Make sure you have the latest update via Settings > About tablet > System updates.
Problem: Nexus 7 won't go past Google logo screen
A lot of people have reported an issue when they turn the Nexus 7 on. They hold down the Power button until it starts up, and it gets as far as the Google logo screen or maybe the colored X, but won't go any further; it just freezes on that screen.
Potential fixes:
- First, try holding down the power button for 30 seconds, ignore the pop-up options and wait until the device reboots.
- If that doesn't work, try a factory reset (but note that you will lose all data on the device).
Here are the steps to do it without the screen:
- If your tablet is on, power it off.
- Press and hold the Power button until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
- Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
- Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
- While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
- Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
- Scroll down to "Yes – erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Problem: Speaker buzzing or static
A number of Nexus 7 owners have been complaining about a buzzing or static sound that is especially apparent at low volumes. For some people the noise is still there even if they mute the speaker.
- Use headphones instead and you shouldn't have any problem. You can also plug headphones in just to stop any sound coming through the speakers when muted.
- Use a portable Bluetooth speaker instead.
Potential fixes:
- For some people this seems to be related to the brightness settings on the tablet. It's worth dragging down the notification shade and tapping Brightness to decrease it and see if it makes any difference.
- Google did release a fix for this problem, so make sure that you have the latest update in Settings > About tablet > System updates.
Problem: Random reboots
A lot of people have encountered issues with the new Nexus 7 (2013) randomly restarting. This was a common problem on the old Nexus 7 as well. With the new model, many people report that the reboots are occurring when using Chrome, but the issue doesn't seem to be limited to that.
Potential solutions:
- An update could solve this. You should automatically get updates (this is a Nexus device, after all), but you can also go to Settings > About tablet and check your Android version. You can tap System updates and then Check now to see if a new update is available.
- Make sure that all of your apps are up to date. The easiest way is to load up the Play Store and tap the Menu button, then choose My apps. You'll see an Update all option at the top right. The problem could be an app that hasn't been optimized for Android 4.3, so if you notice the problem relates to a specific app, send a message to the developer and try to use an alternative until they bring out an update. You can check if an app is the culprit by booting into safe mode. Press and hold the power button then touch and hold the Power off option that pops up on screen and then touch OK in the next box that pops up to boot into safe mode. If the problem is gone then an app is likely to be the cause. Restart the device to get out of safe mode and hunt for the app responsible.
- Try a soft reset next by holding down the power button for 30 seconds, ignore the pop-up options and wait until the device reboots.
- If you're still having random restart problems then it's time to try a factory reset. Make sure you back up all your content (your Google account will back up a lot of data so you can restore it afterwards). Tap the Menu button and choose Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset > Reset tablet and then enter your pattern, PIN, or password if prompted. Finally tap Erase everything.
- If none of the above has worked,then you should take the device back to the retailer where you bought it, or contact Google about a replacement.
Glitch: Multi-touch and typing erratic
A few owners have had problems with their new Nexus 7 (2013) registering multiple touches on the screen and skipping around erratically. There have also been reports of single taps on the touchscreen keyboard being registered as double or triple taps. If you're uncertain whether you have a genuine problem with your touchscreen then try installing an app like Yet Another MultiTouch Test and you can see visually whether it is registering touches correctly.
Potential solutions:
- If you have a screen protector then it could be impacting on the touch sensitivity. Or it's possible you are used to a less sensitive touchscreen and you're pressing too hard or for too long. Try adjusting the way you use it and see if the problem clears up.
- It could be a software issue caused by a specific app. Try booting into safe mode by holding down the power button and then touch and hold Power off and tap OK in the next pop-up. If it works better in safe mode then you should restart and try to remove apps until you find the one responsible.
- It could come down to faulty hardware. If you see erratic behavior when using the Yet Another MultiTouch Test app then you should return it to the retailer or Google and get a replacement. Google has acknowledged this issue and an investigation is apparently underway.
Problem: GPS not working or dropping
It seems that quite a few Nexus 7 (2013) owners are reporting problems with the GPS. For most people it seems to connect fine initially, but after a few minutes, or when switching apps, the GPS drops and won't reconnect.
- A lot of people are encountering this issue when they use more than one app that wants to connect to GPS. If you just use Google Maps, for example, it should work, but if you also use something like Ingress, Waze, or a weather app, then it might start dropping out. You could limit your Nexus 7 to one GPS app.
- If you simply reboot the device by holding down the power button until it restarts (ignore the pop-up) then you should find the GPS will work again.
Potential solutions:
- Wait for a software update. Google is working on a solution. This is likely to be fixed by an update so keep an eye out for updates the system via Settings > About tablet > System updates and make sure your apps are up to date in Play Store via Settings > My apps > Update all.
- You could try exchanging your device at the retailer or via Google on the off-chance that it's a hardware fault, but this doesn't seem likely.
Problem: Screen flickering
A few people have noticed that the screen of their Nexus 7 (2013) is prone to flickering. This is particularly noticeable on lower brightness settings.
- Turn auto-brightness off and make sure that the screen brightness is set to brighter than 40 percent by pulling down the notification shade from the top right and selecting Brightness then sliding it up.
Potential solution:
- This could be a hardware bug. You may even find that the screen turns off completely if you put the brightness down too low. In that case you have to go to Google or your retailer and request a replacement device. Some people who encountered this issue exchanged the device and report that it isn't present on the new one.
Problem: Won't recharge or rapid battery drain
Some owners have reported that their Nexus 7 (2013) will not charge up at all when plugged in. Others have found that the battery is discharging much faster than expected.
- If you find the battery is draining much faster than expected then it may be due to a specific app that isn't optimized for the latest version of Android, for example, a lot of people report problems with Netflix after the 4.3 update. If you want to confirm that a third-party app is the problem then try using the Nexus 7 in safe mode. Press and hold the Power button and when the menu pops up tap and hold on the Power off option and tap OK to reboot into safe mode. If the problem is gone then you know an app is causing it. You can try uninstalling apps one by one, or you can factory reset and selectively reinstall.
Potential solution:
- If your Nexus 7 (2013) refuses to charge when you plug it into a power socket, using the cable and charger that shipped with the tablet, then you should go to your retailer or Google and request a replacement. You could test it with a different charger first, just to make sure the charger is not faulty.

(JNS.org) Former Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel, who has come under fire for both his record and statements on Israel since his name surfaced as a candidate for Secretary of Defense in December, on Tuesday was confirmed for that position in President Barack Obama's cabinet following a 58-41 Senate vote in his favor.
No Secretary of Defense had ever been confirmed with more than 11 opposing votes, a group of 14 U.S. senators opposing Hagel's nomination noted in a letter to Obama last week.
Both Democratic and Republican legislators, as well as several Jewish groups, had criticized the nomination of Hagel, who in 2008 infamously said, "the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people" in Washington, DC. In his confirmation hearing Jan. 31, Hagel mistakenly expressed support for a U.S. policy of "containment" in dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat.
"Chuck Hagel's statements on Israel and the 'Jewish lobby' raised serious concerns about his fitness to serve," the Republican Jewish Coalition said in a statement reacting to his confirmation on Tuesday. "His views on Iran are also deeply troubling."
The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC), however, congratulated Hagel on his confirmation and praised his "statements during the nomination process in strong support of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and against a policy of containment as well as his clear understanding of the importance of achieving the two-state solution [to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict]."
"We know Secretary Hagel will support President Obama on these issues that are critically important to the Jewish community," NJDC said in a statement.
A 2009 report Hagel co-authored that surfaced in media reports a day before his confirmation recommended the internationalization of Jerusalem, Israel's capital, as part of a two-state solution that would be enforced by a "U.S.-led multinational force." According to the recommendations in the report, titled "A Last Chance For A Two-State Israel-Palestine Agreement," Jerusalem would have "a special security and administrative regime of its own" under that multinational force, which would "feature American leadership of a NATO force supplemented by Jordanians, Egyptians and Israelis."
Jewish groups including the RJC, American Jewish Committee, Zionist Organization of America, Anti-Defamation League and StandWithUs had all expressed concern about Hagel. The former senator's reported comment in a 2007 speech at Rutgers University that the U.S. State Department "is an adjunct to the Israeli Foreign Minister's office" implies that Hagel "may buy into very troublesome ideology that accuses Jews of controlling the government, the media, and so on," StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein told JNS.org Feb. 17.
Hagel did not sign various pro-Israel letters backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) while he served in the Senate, but did sign a 2009 letter asking Obama to directly negotiate with Hamas.
Last week, the senators who asked Obama to withdraw his nomination of Hagel raised their concern that he "displayed a seeming ambivalence about whether containment or prevention is the best approach [to Iran's nuclear program]" during his confirmation hearing.
"Any sound strategy on Iran must be underpinned by the highly credible threat of U.S. military force, and there is broad bipartisan agreement on that point," the senators said. "If Senator Hagel becomes Secretary of Defense, the military option will have near zero credibility."

I find it horrifyingly honest that a Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board member has willingly admitted his lack of integrity. As reported by the Associated Press, he testified that though he supports dismantling the state's socialist liquor monopoly, he still offered suggestions on how to preserve the state's coercive enterprise.
With "supporters" such as this individual part of the liquor board, privatization is in dire need of true advocates of the free enterprise system.

Sencha has announced an upgrade to Ext JS, its development platform for building cross-browser applications. Ext JS 5 promises to allow developers to build and/or move desktop apps to mobile devices with little to no modification to the existing code base within the same development tools.
"The promise of web application development is that developers can easily build applications that run in the widest range of devices and deliver to their users' applications that are always up-to-date. Mobile devices and mobile apps arguably disrupted this model as the industry moved to native apps that require independent development for iOS, Android, Windows, and any other platform, or even just porting a Mac OS app to an iPad," said the company.
The company also points to the implications thrown up by the migration from traditional, point-and-click, desktop computer applications onto touch-based tablets and laptops — saying that this is a transition marked by significant software engineering work to resolve display and UX issues.
New features in the compay's new release include Touch Support: Ext JS 5 adds support for touch-based gestures and now allows desktop Ext JS apps to run on touch-screen devices such as tablets and touchscreen laptops. Ext JS 5 also includes touch-centric, customizable themes.
This touch-screen support is argued to enable organizations to target a wide range of applications with one code base and allow adaptation of exiting apps for operation on touch devices, thereby extending the deployment footprint and useful life of these applications.
Architectural improvements here include: with a Model View ViewModel (MVVM) architecture and two-way data binding. MVVM also fosters more modular development and enhances application scalability. Built-in client-side data session management helps minimize round-trips to the server, and the introduction of routing allows deep linking within applications.
Sencha continues to enhance its component library. With Ext JS 5, developers can now add widgets inside of a grid cell for data visualization and big data analytics. Ext JS 5 also adds an upgraded touch-optimized charting package with financial charting capabilities.
"IT departments and developers are challenged with giving users access to their business apps on all of the devices they use. This becomes harder with every new mobile platform and device launch and our research shows that they must support five different types of device/OS combination, and it's only growing," said Jeff Hartley, Sencha vice president of products and services. "Ext JS 5 eliminates a lot of work from this exercise by providing one platform for bridging desktop apps to tablets and other touch devices like laptops, kiosks and large-format touch screens. This is a big breakthrough for our customers and the entire mobile app market."

Monique Lhuillier designs capture the essence of sophisticated luxury by provoking femininity, allure and glamour that have made her renowned in the world of design. Monique's love for fashion has been a lifelong passion. Growing up in the Philippines, Monique was influenced by her mother's elegance and personal style. Encouraged to pursue her dream of becoming a designer, Monique moved to Los Angeles to attend the Fashion Institute for Design and Merchandising.
While studying at FIDM, Monique met her husband, Tom Bugbee. In 1995, while searching for her wedding gown, Monique was surprised by the lack of fashion-infused bridal options. It was this realization and the desire to offer women modern, couture designs that led Monique to create her own designer label. A year later, Monique and her husband founded the company and launched their first bridal collection.
What started as a young girl's interest in fashion has grown into an acclaimed international design house. Monique brings sophisticated, feminine and luxurious creations to women who seek the best couture design.
Monique and Tom live in Los Angeles with their two children, Jack and Sophia. Monique devotes much of her time to philanthropic efforts and is active within her community.
Monique Lhuillier Fine Jewelry
This unique collection of engagement rings, wedding rings, and fine jewelry was designed by Monique Lhuillier. Inspired by her romantic couture bridal creations, the Monique Lhuillier Fine Jewelry Collection reflects the sophistication and innovative spirit that defines her style. Each piece in the collection is designed to mirror the uniqueness of every bride, by capturing the essence of the moment and displaying a distinctively whimsical look.

Okay no more "Feed Me Crow Boys!" posts the night before an away game. Whether it's indigestion or a premonition, I should just keep my deep, dark, scary thoughts about an imminent loss to myself. I know a lot of you will want to know why I think we have a better shot of beating the Bears in Chicago then we did against the Dolphins in Miami. On the outside looking in, it seems like a rather ridiculous thought. Yet, for years and years and years I've watched this sometimes frustratingly maddening team of ours get our asses handed to us by cupcake teams while beating (sometimes more than convincingly) the better teams nobody - including us - gave us a shot to win.
Nobody expected the Seahawks to travel to New York last year and not only win but beat down the would-be Super Bowl Champions. In 2010, nobody expected us to go into Chicago and beat the Bears, but we did, with conviction and panache. The list is strangely long in our history.
It comes down to one simple and frustrating trait: The Seahawks tend to play down to their inferior opponents while playing up to their superior opponents.
This year, they are playing that paradigm like a fine instrument.
The Bears are wounded. The Seahawks and coaching staff are flat out disgusted and embarassed for the game they gave away in Miami. This clearly favors us. I may not know the outcome of this next game better than the next fan, but I do know that they will give the Bears a MUCH better fight than they ever gave the Dolphins. I will not in the least be surprised if we not only beat the Bears this Sunday but do so convincingly. Just another reason to be dismayed and betrayed when they lose to the Bills.
Aros' Fearless Prediction: Seahawks 27 - Bears 21
Aros' Fearless Record: 6-5

A just-published survey from Forrester Group about the habits of developers, including many readers of Dr. Dobb's, reveals new insights into the software development process as it continues to evolve at the fast pace we've seen for the last two decades. During the next few weeks, we'll share the results with you and look at what they portend. Perhaps the most striking result in the survey is the response to the question "Which methodology most closely reflects your development process?"
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
WebcastsMore >>
The most common response, from a whopping 28% of respondents (on a base of almost 500 developers), was "no development process." (By comparison, the #2 response, Scrum, garnered half as many responses. All other options scored 9% or less. ) It's hard to fathom that more than one in four professional developers today use no specific methodology. I'd love to believe that this is strictly the result of benighted management that has no clue about how development should be run, but personal experience tells me this is not the case. It's a combo shot of both management and developers.
The latter fulfill a stereotype that I've seen numerous times: the cowboy style hacker who enjoys a maverick image, who gets the results he wants so he thinks. He'd rather be left alone to do his work than to attend stand-up meetings, have others review his code, or indulge in any of the fancy folderol that a "me-tho-do-lo-gy" would require. It's not the only stereotype or profile, but it's a persistent one. I still meet them. They get by strictly on their talents, while everything else they do encumbers their path. As a result, they spend far more time in the debugger than they need to, they manage code poorly, they hack builds together, and generally have a poor idea of where they stand in the project's roadmap. They are not good teammates.
There are, of course, other situations that are far more frustrating, which consist of good programmers trapped at a site where managers are opposed or incapable of adopting a process. These managers are sometimes ex-cowboys, or they simply haven't been educated in the value of any methodology. Others don't have the management capabilities or enjoy executive backing for instilling the discipline of a methodology. Here, I believe, developers can take the lead. They can begin, among themselves, to create their own process and build it from the bottom up. A question that immediately arises is: "Which methodology should we choose?" And the wisest answer is: "It doesn't matter." Any methodology is better than none at all.
The presence of a methodology will invariably generate a clearer understanding of the deliverables, a well-defined set of responsibilities that can be assigned to team members, defined build and test processes, a review process, and a shipment calendar. Effectively, it's a minimalist SDLC that enables everyone to plug into their roles and understand their place in the various project's dependencies. Doing this requires the participation of most developers on the team and will surely require a senior person to oversee it. In its final form, it might well look unlike any formally defined process (lean, XP, or the like), but it will deliver better results than no process. If a more structured methodology is chosen later, this first step will greatly ease adoption.
Even one-man projects are well served by a basic methodological framework. I believe the vast number of abandoned open-source projects is partially due to the inability of their principal developer to move forward for lack of a systematic and disciplined approach. Most projects of any value require great exertion over a long period of time, often without much if any support from others. If a project involves a long and somewhat arduous commitment, then most anything that increases the burden contributes to the project's abandonment. For this reason, all developers will benefit from basic methodology disciplines in their private work.
Doing this solo requires sober self-analysis, as it is likely that individuals are disciplined in one area and undisciplined in others. This is certainly true of me and, from what I can see in OSS projects, of many others. Methodology is most needed where the team (here, the individual) is least disciplined, so that one step in the process does not bring the whole project down. Taking this point to the level of an entire team: It would be convenient to believe that the strengths of the various team members overlap so that all activities are properly covered, but in my experience, this is not the case. Most teams have a glaring weakness somewhere that places a significant drag on progress. A methodology makes those areas salient and provides tools for resolution. This is why nearly three-quarters of all developers use some kind of methodology and are unlikely to give it up to return to an undisciplined approach.

Malachi is cool with me although I think he is done wrestling. He just got married or is about to so I don't know where his head it at. Last time I was telling him we missed him at pwg and he said he's enjoying life so.....
Who said Ricochet won't be there? Where did this rumor/info come from
Its speculation at this point. He was injured at the DGUSA events this past weekend.
Malachi should come back for the one match though. Imagine the heat the bucks would have if they took their own brother out of wrestling (in story). I heard he was done, but I can fantasy book, cant I? lol

The heart has 4 chambers. It has 2 upper chambers (atria) and 2 lower chambers (ventricles). Electrical signals regulate the heart beat. The signals also help the atria and ventricles work together in the same rhythm. The blood from the atria is pushed into the ventricles and leaves the heart to circulate to the rest of the body.
Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal fast beating ( arrhythmia ) in the atria. These fast beats make it difficult for the atria to push all the blood into the ventricles. As a result, the ventricles push less blood through the body.
Atrial flutter may be an acute or chronic disorder that comes and goes. Atrial flutter is not usually life-threatening when it is treated. However, it may increase your risk of developing blood clots and a stroke .
Atrial flutter may be caused by the following:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Heart surgery—atrial flutter is most common during the first few weeks after open-heart surgery
- Disease in other parts of the body that affects the functioning of the heart such as the lungs
- Using substances such as caffeine, alcohol, diet pills, or certain types of prescription or over the counter medication that affect the electrical impulses of the heart
- Stress and anxiety
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of atrial flutter:
- Heart disease
- Heart surgery
- History of high blood pressure
- Abnormalities of the heart or heart valves—hypertrophy or mitral valve prolapse
- Overactive thyroid gland— hyperthyroidism
- History of chronic lung disease— emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- High levels of stress or anxiety
- Chronic use of caffeine, alcohol, diet pills, or certain types of prescription or over the counter medications such as cold remedies
Atrial flutter is more likely to develop in older adults.
Atrial flutter does not always produce symptoms. However, symptoms, when present, may include:
- A fluttering or tremor-like feeling in the chest
- Rapid heart beat or pounding sensation in the chest—palpitations
- Pressure or discomfort in the chest
- Shortness of breath
- Anxiety
- Lightheadedness or fainting
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may also recommend that you see a cardiologist or arrhythmia specialist. This type of physician may be found in a larger hospital.
Your doctor may need pictures of your heart and information about how it functions. This can be done with:
The goal of treating atrial flutter is to slow down the electrical impulses that are sent from the atria to the ventricles. Treatment aims at restoring normal rhythm and preventing future episodes. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Medication may be given to slow the rapid heart rate and change the atrial flutter to a normal rhythm. These medications may include:
- Beta-blockers
- Digoxin
- Adenosine
- Nonhydropyridine calcium channel antagonists
Other medications called antiarrhythmics may be used to change the rhythm back to normal. They may also help your heart maintain a normal rhythm.
An external defibrillator is applied to the chest. It uses an electrical current to shock the heart back to its normal rhythm.
Ablation Therapy
Ablation can be performed during an electrophysiological study (EP) study on patients with recurring atrial flutter that cannot be controlled with medications. Using the same catheters, an area of the heart where an abnormal electrical rhythm is generated can be destroyed. This can be a cure for atrial flutter.
Blood Thinners
Blood thinners are an important therapy to prevent blood clots that can cause strokes or other serious complications. They can be used on those who have recurrent atrial flutter. They can also be used on those who are at an increased risk.
To help reduce your chances of atrial flutter:
- Reduce or eliminate your use of caffeine, stimulants, alcohol, nicotine, certain medications, or recreational drugs
- Obtain treatment for any other heart or lung disease
- Reduce your levels of stress and anxiety
- Check with your doctor before taking any new medications, herbs, or supplements
