I've had A-Fib for about 4 years, take Metropolo & Pradaxa. They seem to work fine with me. I once was late in ordering Metropolo, didn't take it for a week & all the A-Fib symptoms reappeared. That convinced me that I needed the med. These meds make me tired (I think) so I take them with lunch and take my nap. I'm 76 yrs. Don
Well, I was just to Mayo and found that tricuspid valve surgery is not for me, at the moment. Right now we are trying to control my heart rate. The flecainide wasn’t working so I’m hoping the metoprolol will do the trick.
The anti arrhythmic drugs have so many side effects and I don’t like the idea of using such potent drugs
I may not have a choice about that, in the future, but for now rate control will be the ticket!!
