Metoprolol Tartrate

metoprolol tartrate (12,5mg) for atrial fibrillation
if I take 12.5 mg 1 hour before I play tennis, I successfully avoid getting arrhythmia and I have no side effects.
If I take 12.5 mg several days in a row without playing tennis, I have trouble breathing when exercising on my elliptical on the third day.
If I take nothing on the days that I do not play tennis I have been frequently getting arrhythmia that can last many hours, average HR usua...

flecainide acetate (100mg) for atrial fibrillation
After years of atrium fibrillations and flutters and several medicines such as sotalol and after several cardio versions I tried tambocor, which felt good!

Sotalol

sotalol hydrochloride (80mg) for atrial fibrillation
Started off taking Metoprolol and had a cardioversion. It worked, but 2 days later I was back in permanent atrial fibrillation. So I then switched to Sotalol because my heart rate wasn't actually that high and Sotalol works more on the rhythm. Heart rate is now a bit on the low side (41 at rest) but apart from that I feel fine. No side effects. I have to work really hard to get it up higher and...

dabigatran etexilate mesilate (150mg) for atrial fibrillation
Nausea, extreme tiredness, dizziness, irritable, short of breath, poor sleep. I need to go back on 1 June to see the neurologist, I'm going to tell him that I'm stopping, I'd rather be dead than live like this.

apixaban (5mg) for atrial fibrillation
Bad experience. I am sleeping badly and I've been really unsettled since I started taking this, I often have arrhythmia with a kind of stressed feeling. I also get the impression that it affects my memory. I also feel less fit. Going to go back to see the GP.
