AF Medications

I have had AF for a few months now, I have also attended A & E four times recently with palpations and chest pains. Each time they have given me either, sometimes both, potassium or magnesium intravenously. I have also had a kidney transplant (4 years ago). They cannot give me any more medication than what I'm on Bisoprolol 10mg and Apixaban 2.5mg together with anti-rejection meds. Is anyone else in the same position? I hasten to add I had a heart attack 5 years ago resulting in 2 stents.

Is your heart rate and blood pressure controlled ? That is the key.

And continuous consult with your doctor/his staff to make your symptoms known.

Best to you in managing your health.
