newbie diagnosed with ectopic beats, but also paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

[24623057]

Had slow heart beat for 5 days with slight flutterings. Thought it was my Afib starting again. Had ecg at drs yesterday and was told it was ectopic beats. I’m not taking any medication , was on 2.5mg Bisoprolol as pill in pocket, but advised to stop it. It’s horrible, I have them all day,not sure why they’ve started?? How do u manage them?

First thing. Has anything changed recently? New job, stress, diet, new cleaning products, new phone, new position for a computer server, new relationship?

Triggers are often not obvious and for many, can never be identified. Might be worth keeping a very detailed health diary which includes food and drink. In the meantime google 'Vagus nerve'. This will suggest some potential remedies ranging from burping to tonal stimulation (basically humming)

Provided you haven't been told not to, walking may help.

I take this medication and have had a change or two. I currently take a full pill 5mg. I tried to take it during the day. That’s a no go. I now take it daily from 5-7 in the evening. Otherwise I have no strength. I have no rejection and the heart is holding its on. I have a replaced aorta valve and a AICD. Medication total is around 24 daily. I had myocarditis years back followed with a second attack at age 20. I’m 75. Have a great day.
