Just been diagnosed with Afib prescribed Eliquis and Metoprolol to take along with my regular blood pressure medicine Valsartan

Have been extremely tired shortness of breathe I am overweight and 66 years old so Initially thought it was my age Hoping I can resume exercising and get some energy back feeling nervous about the whole thing

Does it take a while for the medicine to help? I feel weak and have no stamina but hoping exercise will help me

Have a word with your GP about your symptoms. I would think that your beta blocker may need adjusting in dosage. We are all different and the meds need to be tailored to our sensitivities.
