Hi @hollywoodal, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear that you have been going down hill with the maintenance medications. My mother had very similar symptoms after her physician started her on new medications for her AA. I'd like to invite a few of our members to share their experience and see if they are aware of any specialist in that area. @lynetteirizarry @mustangsally67 @maryswims @jojo1970 @hopeful33250 and @ken82
I would also like to share the list of Cardiology Specialists here in Florida. I know Jacksonville is about 5 hours away from South Carolina, but Mayo does have an outstanding team. https://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments/find-a-doctor/search-results?searchterm=cardiologist&locations=Jacksonville%2C%20FL#edd114075cc94f35b9bccc081668c123
What medications do they currently have you taking?

Mostly supplements, I am currently on 12.5Mg in AM and 12.5Mg in PM. I know that's not very much but I can feel the change 1-2 hours after taking the medicine. Been on it for 5 years prescribed up to 50MG crashed big time. Lots of changes in prescription over this time. Crashed (very bad response/side effects) almost every time. Had to reduce it myself after research to the 12.5Mg AM/PM while doctors watched. Key supplements, CoQ-10, Multi, D3, Stopped the Hemp oil for the last month still had dizzy spells. Had very bad reaction to Metoprolol that put me in the hospital. Key factor; I have a narrowing of an artery up the back of my neck. If I can find a doctor I have documented almost everything since the operation. One cardiologist commented, "We don't have a clue of what is going on."
