paroxysmal af

Hi all, i'm new on here.

My resting hr is about 64. When I get af it fluctuates up to 120 & down to 38. I take medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol as well as af & had angioplasty last September having suffered with angina for 10years. The af nearly always comes on in the night & so I am not sleeping well & feeling tired all the time. My gp just gave me Nebivolol but not made a difference. Any advice or help would be much appreciated

If you are in UK and your GP is unable to help your symptoms within one month you may ask for referral to an arrhythmia specialist. How long this may take depends a lot on where you are. One does need to fight one's corner!

Do go to AF Association website and read all you can as knowledge is power.
