I am male, 83 years old and was recently treated for Atrial Fibrillation. After having Atrial Flutter and ablation. I had already been taking Amlodipine for blood pressure (around 160/80). I was given Cardioversion which worked fine (so far) and also given Rivaroxaban and Bisoprolol. Since then I have been experiencing severe constipation and wonder if this is due to any or all these medications. Are there any alternatives that might help?

Might be worth speaking to your pharmacist about this. They will spend more time with you than most doctors!
There are alternatives for both. On the biso the other thing to look at is the level of dose, can you have less but still control your heart rate? There's a really strong AF community on here which might be of use to you. They're all very friendly too (just like us here of course).
Not what you're looking for?
