Windyshores you are an inspiration to me! Thanks for all your great info. As you know afib and tachycardia are unpleasant, so want to avoid if at all possible having to be converted back to sinus rhythm. I may actually get to where I take Tymlos in the morning bc when I’m busy it’s easier to not focus on my heartbeat than at night when I’m trying to relax and go to sleep.

@jennirdh I switched to morning and had a better experience. I have low blood pressure and at first I hydrated, ate salty things, and constantly used a blood pressure cuff. I also stayed in bed or on the couch. After awhile I noticed I did better if I got up and went out or did something active. Maybe activity raised my blood pressure? I put the blood pressure cuff away. Everyone is different.
My afib is always at night so that was why I switched. Added benefit was that I no longer woke with a headache, though that might have stopped anyway.
My two years on Tymlos was the ONLY two year period I have gone without any afib at all. Strange right?
It might help to remember that Tymlos leaves the body very quickly. Half life is about 1.7 hours. Immediate side effects leave quickly too. Hope that's reassuring for folks. I hope people move up as quickly as they can. There will be side effects like light headedness for some of us so I don't think the expectation can be that titration will eliminate side effects. But tolerable, very short-lived side effects are well worth the excellent gains Tymlos can bring. And some will have no side effects at all.
