Diagnosed 1 year ago on 3rd blood thinners Apixaban 2x5mg causing problems but can live with them, Nebivolol 5 to 7.5mg this is my 4th blocker and have had to stop it, I am on morphine and the Nebivolol blocks the morphine, the "bouncing" is between minutes and a hour this lasts 3 to 4 days then 3 to 4 days almost free, I am on day 8 now even started the Nebivolol again but made no difference I don't see a doctor now he just phones now and again I am getting a bit frightened don't know if this is normal?

Thank you

David

Good morning and welcome to the forum! You may find this bhf web page, and associated links and (downloadable) booklets helpful:

Many people with AF or ectopics find they have food triggers. The most common are caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and spicy foods.

You also mention you are taking Morphine. Other medical conditions can affect AF. Often a consultant will see you as a condition, even an interesting one at times, but not as a person with a number of conditions which is really important.
