Atrial fibrillation medications side effects

Speaking of AFib and meds, are my meds causing dizziness that is getting worse? After taking many different meds, which ultimately did not slow my tachycardia, my cardiologist put me on 25mg metoprolol 2x/day, along with 5mg Eliquis 2x/day and 20mg atorvastatin per day. I had mild dizziness before the change in meds, but it's getting so much worse. My heart rate is generally in the 70s or 80s, but I have no energy, walk carefully and slowly so as not to fall--and dizziness is awful. BP is more or less normal, but it varies, too, diastolic higher than normal. Cardiologist/electrophysiologist does not think an ablation will succeed (I've had several cardioversions that got less and less effective). Does anyone in Connect have this awful dizziness with AFib and meds? I'm 84 and have enjoyed good health until AFib began following knee replacement 5 years ago.

See if your cardiologist can look at the meds you are taking and either change some or lower dosage.

Metopropal might cause severe dizziness and exhaustion.
