Side Effects from Metoprolol 25mg

I am taking Metoprolol 25mg halved twice a day for AFib and having side effects of almost passing out or a weird feeling of like I would be passing out which has happened twice now. I'm taking it with Eliquis. Is anyone else having this symptom?

Air conditioner and Afib

hello all, can anyone tell me if being in an air conditioned environment i.e car or room for a few hours can trigger off an AFIB episode. I was on a long car journey yesterday and woke this morning at 4 am and it’s sat at 139 since then . I’ve taken 2 extra bisoprolol and 1 extra Flecainide but it’s

Adizem Slow Release and Flecainide

Does anyone take these 2 drugs for blood pressure and Afib? I was on one 50mg Flecainide at night but due to increased episodes my dose has been increased by my Consultant to 50g morning and night with a 100mg pip. He also prescribed me 120mg Adizem slow release which I have been taking in the morning

post cardioversion

Hi, I was diagnosed with Afib after suffering a TIA in April 2021. Amioderone and xarelto controlled it until after 6 months amioderone caused my thyroid to quadruple. So stopped amioderone. After xarelto resulted in an internal hip bleed was switched to Eliquis. Had an ablation Jan 2023 so still

Experiencing higher sleeping HRV after stopping Flecainide

I had a cryoboalloon ablation the end of January and was kept on 2x 50mg Flecainide during the blanking period. I had no AF during the blanking period and wore a Zio patch for 7 days just before the 3 months was over. At the appointment the APRN said my Zio came back clean, with no AF, very few ectopic

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) and Amiodarone

https://www.practiceupdate.com/C/152409/56?elsca1=emc_enews_topic-alert Awhile back, someone posted a link for the above site. It requires subscription (free) but has beneficial info on afib and other heart conditions. I cannot verify the veracity of the information but it does seem professional

Palpitations

I know about the risks of stroke when you have Afib, and I take Warfarin, but just out of interest, do ordinary palpitations, like PVCs and SVEs also present a risk ? Annie

Afib medications

I was diagnosed about half a year ago with Afib. I am trying to understand the medicines and their side effects better. I am currently on Amiodarone 200 mg and Metoprolol 50mg and have many unpleasant side effects. Need to get off these meds.

Afib alert on fitbit

hiya haven’t posted for a while but was wondering if anyone could give some advice on afib heart rate while sleeping. I had an alert this morning on my Fitbit that I had a possible afib attack during the night. My heart rate went down as low as 36 and as high as 146. Should I be alarmed by this

Feeling Disappointed

Following an ablation for SVT in January 2021 I have been problem free for two and a half years (at least heart wise). I began to feel breathless about three weeks ago and now am experiencing fairly regular runs of af. I have had an ablation for af in the past as well as surgery to repair leaky valves

Amiodarone + AFIB

During Af

Today I think I had an Af episode. I have paroxysmal Af, and have had 3 severe attacks in the past 12 or so years, each requiring evacuation to hospital for 24/48 hours, once by helicopter, oooh! I don't tend to usually get significant episode outside the big ones. My last was horrible, about 2am I

Hypotension

After several years with reduced afib after a relatively successful ablation, I have now developed some sort of hypotension which sees me landing flat on the floor on numerous occasions. Fortunately I slump quite gracefully so no further damage yet! I thought I had it under control........ getting up

Has anyone experienced a conversion pause when coming out of AF- like a brief second or two of syncope with a visual disturbance & a strange quite frightening feeling This has started after having to come of Flecainide as it was causing other arrhythmias.

AF Blood Pressure

Hi good morning just replying to blood pressure 173/ 93 ! Depending on age in my humble Non Medical view I would not worry long term in a Rise to this Level. Additionally in my Experience ( 83 years now) You should try taking Blood Pressure 3 Times a Day Morning is normally higher and you would
