I take eliquis and 1/2 metoprolol in the am and eliquis and 1 metoprolol in pm I am having afib episodes quite frequently and am afraid of side effects of other meds. Was told electrocardiogram is perfectly normal. Want least side effect med. Suggestions? ( Afib episodes have become more frequent--sometimes days apart or sometimes weeks apart. They can last from a few hours to 8+) Metoprolol is the safest drug but I am discouraged with these episodes that always occur the first thing upon awakening. I do not know what to do next--given my medication anxiety.
