Muscle weakness…afib meds?

I’m a reasonably fit 73 yr old female. I exercise daily and have since I was 30 yrs old. Since starting Afib meds (Eliquis/Metoprolol) I still exercise but feel I am struggling with workouts that used to be only mildly challenging. It feels somewhat comforting that others are validating my experience with meds. My doc just says ‘that’s not a side effect’. Going in for a second ablation 1/31, hoping for success so I can decrease meds. Good luck to you!

Anecdotally, seems like beta blockers are this group’s source of muscle weakness. I feel like a schmoo from L’ilAbner.

Also, several of us here going in for ablation number 2, myself included. Good luck, and even better EPs, to us all!
