Meds to stop Afib
A 75 year old woman I know says she takes meds that stop her Afib. She may be talking about Metoprolol or something like it which I don't believe stop Afib. Are there actually meds that stop Afib. I take Eliquis to help avoid a stroke nut I haven't heard of meds that stop Afib. I would love to know if there are.

Thank you he was not, but since it happened he warns everyone to be careful with flecainide. My car was a total loss. He hit a telephone pole, because he passed out while driving. He was amazingly lucky actually.

2 ReactionsFlecainide totally stops it.
Glad it did for you. It did not help my husband's paroxysmal afib. It does not work for everybody.

3 ReactionsDifferent meds seem to work differently for different people. Taking a med like Eliquis is definitely the right thing to do to prevent a stroke from AFib. Many combinations of meds are prescribed by diff docs. I suppose if something works, thats great. From what I have learned, an ablation may be a better option for some. It was for my husband.
