I am a 64 yr. old male, weight 238 lbs., 6-6 usually walk 3 miles daily. I have had about four bouts with afib in past two months. I take metropolol 25mg 2x and lisopril 10mg 1x. I recently was sent to emerg. room with afib and got the TTE and shock treatment. I was released and took the 28 shots of lovenox in the stomach and now on cumadien or warfarin. While on the medication I did have another spell which lasted 40 minutes but did not go back into afib. I can tell when this happens a warm flush will go up my face and then the heart rapid heartbeat. Are there anything I can do to help this? It seems like when I get exicited my heart jumps into a very quick fluttering. The TTE and Shock treatment was not fun!!!
Hello, Brief answer: Need another rhythm control Chat Doctor. Explanation: My opinion is that atrial fibrillation is a challenging condition, as it is difficult in lots of patients to control, in your case, you need to change the dose of metoprolol or add another rhythm control
