Extreme fatigue from Metoprolol?

Yep. Similar experience in 2022 Utah hiking trip. AF history including 2017 Ablation. No meds or OACs but on a stopover in Colorado on the way to Utah experienced a too long to ignore AF episode, to ER where I was stabilized and AF ceased. Dr prescribed that I take Metropolol. During the subsequent hiking I found I was exhausted most of the time especially during uphill sections. After a couple of days of this I decided to stop the metropolol and my energy returned. I will do most anything to stay off beta blockers or anti arrhythmia drugs.

@chickenfarmer Thanks. I have no perception of Afib or SVT even when diagnosed with Afib 90% of the time and one bout of heart rate at 185 bpm for 16 minutes on the Holter monitor data. My only symptom was feeling very tired in the mornings and feeling very tired on one day of a multi day back packing trip. I am certainly open to trying an ablation procedure and going off the Metoprolol. For the last 30 years I have a history of running and endurance cycling as well as bicycle racing. It is very discouraging to basically "blow up" walking uphill. But many others have it far worse.
