Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): How can I manage it?

I take metoprolol tartrate to control a non-sustained ventricular arrythmia (as per my cardiologist). I do not have atrial fibrillation nor do I have high blood pressure. I actually have more than one type of arrythmia. I have been on metoprolol (12.5mg×2) for 4 years. It works well for me (so far). Betablockers are often used to control arrythmias.

I had been taking the same meds dosage and frequency. I suffered an esophageal spasam; could not breath at all. Got my first trip on a gurney! I found out this was one of the possible side effects of metoprolol tartrate. I had been taking this med for a long time without incident. Just be aware a very scary episode.
