Not taking Bisoprolol. but as soon as the episode occured I took Bisoprolol 2.5. HR was 89 at the time of ECG.Can anyone have idea about Ivabradine as heart rate lowering agent?

All ecg s done since last 7 years always showing sinus rhythm. Is it the reason for choosing Ivabradine? Only one Holter monitoring once revealed that I have one episode of AF of 240 BPM. Yesterday's episode also occurred with high HR, but immediate ecg did not show any abnormal rhythm. My Angio, Echo, all are normal. Only TMT done in 2016 showed positive. Very much frustrated though the Dr is assuring not to worry. Thank you very much for your comment. I was better with bisoprolol. But I feel certain knocking sensation in my chest sometimes. Dr said these are ectopics. Really feeling frustrated.
I am also taking telmisartan 20, clopidogrel 75. atorvastatin 5. I am also taking Eltroxin50 in the morning. I have developed hypothyroidism after the Amiodarone therapy during 2012-2016. Blood parameters are ok. Previously I had epileptic seizure, for which I had to take AED (phenytoin, sodium valproate) for several years ( 1987-20112). I don't know whether those medications are responsible for creating this situation since 2012 or not. Really it is horrible experience. Now I am 56+
