I take atenolol, flecainide and spironolactone ,took a while to get used to them but okay now. He has just added perindopril which is making me feel awful. I have decided to take one every other day to try and alleviate the tiredness and feeling so low.

Couldn't take Flec either - consider seeing a new electrophysiologist !!

You should try if you don't have a good rapport with your dr. !

Your GP will need to do it and make sure you go to a hospital with a large cardiology department and specialist experitise in AF. A Teaching hospital is a good bet.

It took me about a month to get used to Bisoporol, after my chemist suggested I take it in the evening about 9pm no trouble since.

It seems that the same AF drugs affect different people in different ways. I am on Sotalol, 160gm daily, and Warfarin. I don't find the Warfarin a problem, and the Sotalol keeps my AF to one bout each 3 weeks approx.
BUT I was on Bisoprolol plus Flecainide for a few weeks. That put me into permanent AF which only stopped when I went back to Sotalol. YMMV. (UK, retired male)
