I took Fish Oil before my heart transplant and have begun taking it again post transplant with the blessing of my coordinators. To be honest, I haven't noticed any difference personally. It may just be a creature of habit type thing...
hey Frank , I was on fish oil for bout a year . for me it did absolutely nothing, I dont have cholesterol issues my cholesteral is 81 , but my good numbers were a tad low and my tx cntr thought it would make a difference , but it didnt, I eat a ton of Salmon and I belive you benefit more from that then you will taking fish oil ... but thats just my oppinnion ....
Not sure how safe it is to take fish oil prior to transplant especially if a pattent is on blood thinners. Check with your transplant team. After heart transplant- good question- Not sure how safe it is.
I received a double lung transplant and take Cod liver oil as well as Krill oil which is a fish oil. I feel the benefits.

I started taking DHA/EPA pills (sardines, mackerel oil) and I have been sleeping like a baby.
