I tell the doc that the med is fine, because, I know the next step would be trying a different one. And that whole process has proved to be a pain. I'd like to go off all of them. Metroprolol is like driving a car with one foot on the excelerator and one on the brake. After raking leaves, the brake wins and I sit down winded. With less of the med, I can go on alot longer, but eventually feel a bit odd and get the swelling in my abdomen. I just hang in there.

Hi Amanda, my cardiologist said for me to stay on it, I also take flecanide for afib which is horrible too. He wants to do an ablation on me soon. Dr says that if successful I can stop the meds potentially all together...🙏 This Dr has performed 300 ablations thus far. Is that good or bad? 😳 I am a bit nervios...
