Speedy heart

I have Afib and high blood pressure, I was just in the hospital for the AFIB. I was put on SOTALOL and taken off Carvedilol and Diltiazem, I also am still taking Losartan, Eliquis, Atorvastatin and 81mg aspirin. Will these meds keep my blood pressure and Afib under control?

As we all react very differently to medications so only time will tell. No-one can predict unfortunately.

As a side - Sotolol is no longer recommended for lone AF but as you are taking both anti-coagulant and aspirin I am assuming you may have underlying conditions?

I think they may discontinue the aspirin if you are on the elequis. I am on Elequis and Sotalol. Sotalol does make me very tired.
