Confused about Stiff Heart, Diastolic Heart Failure, or HFpEF?

Hi
Demand a 24hr Heart Monitor.
This is a true report of your status with your meds.
Metapolol was the culprit in my case and I had no back up that a former doctor's warning in taking it.
I suffered like a zombie for 1 year 5 months!
No one listened and I had said no to it.
Pauses at night too.
Bisoprolol is a better med for AF patients too - said the hospital heart specialist.
Demand to change.
I was OK on 49.75 in 2008 before Stroke with AF but doubling it - couldn't breathe. The specialist said just 10 bpm over 100 will do damage to your heart. X 60 x 60 x 24 for 1 day! I was 86 over!
With Bisoprolol 56 over.
Can you imagine what this 'stuff' does to your heart.
Changing to a Calcium Channel Blocker was the answer.
Do get on to it and get some interested person to look after YOU.
Be the CEO to your health. I did eventually.

Thank you! I have been on Metapolol for years. According to my Apple watch, my resting heart rate has significantly increased over the last week. Since that was about the time I started propafenone, I thought that might be the culprit. However, maybe it is the Metapolol. My cardiologist wants me to add Jardiance, but I just don't want to add anything else. I will contact my cardiologist and my EP. Thanks!
