The medications he are given are common for AFIB. All of us have different side affects when in AFIB. Some don't feel anything. Many like me have very noticeable side affects.
Why was your husband given 4 months to live? Having AFIB is not a death sentence and he is on specific medication to deal with AFIB side effects. Quite frankly is quite common these days to have AFIB especially later on in life.
Has you husband had a heart attack, has heart failure, other medical condition that would give him such a defined months to live diagnosis?
For me I have had heart failure for over 26 years. I have AFIB on and off for about 20 of those years. I recently had tachycardia which my ICD/Pacemaker shocked me and will have ablation on LV in June.

@jc76, that is what I'm trying to find out. Why 4 months. He hasn't had a heart attack, but is very weak,can't walk from one room to another,his legs give out. Having problems controlling his heart rate and blood pressure. His doctor suggested Hospice. I am stressed as I am his caregiver 24/7.
