Afib triggered at onset of sleep; what to do?

I am also sensitive to meds. I do better with TEVA sometimes.

I declined blood thinners with much pressure over the years and changed doctors.

Interesting that a cancer drug started it for you. I swear letrozole started afib for me and when I went off, the interval because longer and the one episode I have had was mild and stopped in 10 minutes.

Kisquali and letrozole are entirely different but it is quite a coincidence.

Hope you find an answer!

@windyshores I'm so glad you mentioned letrozole. You're going to love this. I started taking Kisqali and Letrozole the same day over 2 years ago. I assumed it was the Kisqali that caused the afib only because I also had the dangerous heart rhythm that only 4% of the people get with Kisqali (can cause sudden death - yikes) so they had to stop the 600 mg, wait for my heart rhythm to go back to normal and then start me on 400 mg. So I assumed the remaining afib issues were due to Kisqali. Maybe it's the letrozole that triggered the afib now that I hear your story. In any case, I'm on both meds long term so it doesn't really matter. I'm not changing any meds cause they seem to be working and the devil you know...

I looked up TEVA and it looks like it's a pharmaceutical company. So when you say you do better with TEVA, do you mean any meds they make or what specific meds did you mean?
