Following a cardiac ablation for AF my husband experienced a could of AFs.

Since then along with his normal mediation the doctor has put him of 60g

A beta block propranolol. He hasn't had any more AF thankfully but he can't sleep and is very tired most of the time. Any had similar effects . Is the dose high ?

Errrrr, 60g is very large 😃. Sorry, my attempt at humour. I really hope it’s 60mg.

Assuming it is a 60mg dose, that would be a fairly middling dose- the range typically would be 20-160mg. Beta blockers can make you breathless amongst other thingsha
