Just saying Hello.

Hi I am Brian, Retired, I like to cycle a lot, play bowls ie lawn and carpet. AF is a problem for me because of tiredness.

Hi Brian,

You don't say what medication you are on- I know people would advise about what has made them feel tired- or perhaps you are in AF all the time and feel tired because of that?

Hi Rosy, I am on Bisoprolol and in AF most of the time.

[rosyG in reply to Hidden]

I think a lot of people on here have been very tired with Bisoprolol- difficult as it's highly thought of- perhaps discuss with your doctor ?

Hello Brian. and welcome to the forum.

AF can make us tired in all degrees of the word! Drugs to control heart rate are notorious for making us feel washed out too.

Are you in AF all the time or do you take drugs to control PAF? Uncontrolled AF absolutely floored me - I have paroxysmal AF - I could barely walk to the bathroom during attacks. Since starting rate and rhythm control drugs I have no AF but am tired with less energy than in my 'former life'.

AF most of the time, still got more test to do yet,

Hello Brian

Welcome to the group! I am newly retired and also tired!! Think its the beta blockers. I like to walk and cycle as much as my AF /energy/stamina allows.

My positive spin is , that I don't have to work anymore, so I just have to go with the periods of tiredness and adapt my day around this......being retired I have the freedom to do that! Trying to carry on working was just becoming too much!

AF sucks, but you too have the "choice"!!

Everyone on here is very helpful and a mine of information!

Best wishes

You don't say what meds you are on but Bisoprolol made me tired, but I didn't think the Adizem and Dronedarone I'm taking did. I thought it was just the AF but my arrythmia nurse said that the tablets were probably making me tired.

Thanks, I am on Bisoprolol but will talk to my GP,
