We shouldn't answer that as we are not medically trained. . Do whatever your EP has told you to do. That is a pretty normal heart rate to be honest so should not be too debilitating.

My doctor told me the same thing. My heart rate is slow for Afib, starts fast and settles into the 70’s

Just curious. Just got on and was wondering if u r still in afib or how long did it last? I have a slow pulse rate 65-70 and get just a few minutes of afib that

Goes away with a deep breath. ( usually.) pulse still stay low. Since my ablation almost two years ago this is how it has been. Here is hoping u r back to normal.

My EP Mr Schilling advises to take 100mg and then a further 100mg say about 8 hours later if it’s not stopped. You can then do that every day until the AF goes.

Not what you're looking for?
