My EP is thinking of switching me from Flecainide 150 mg 2x day to Multaq 400 mg 2x day….. I am also on 150mg of Metoprolol Tartrate 2 x day for rate control….Is anyone on Multaq 400 mg & Metoprolol together? I have had two failed ablations and 10 Cardioversions since 2012….My last Cardioversion on 10/10/24 lasted about 3 weeks…. I have been in Afib since 10/30/24….Any advice will be greatly appreciated 💯❤️

So now I'm on Diltiazem 120mg for Rate Control

Biso... 1.25mg for BP control.

Why not check out a CCB.

The question is what is most important first..
