I went back into AFib fairly soon after two cardioversions and two ablations over a period, and was on Bisoprolol throughout - intermittent or paroxsysmal AFib is a lottery and entirely unpredictable from person to person. It is a strange condition too, with triggers which also vary - sometimes weird ones - like whenever I awoke from an armchair snooze I could guarantee I came to with a start and off it went! Only Flecainide was sometimes of help in restoring a regular beat. In my own case, I elected to come off Bisoprolol after emergency pacemaker placement, which was at 10 mg by then. I just said no more of it thankyou and just stopped and the cardiologist didn't warn me of any dangers in doing it, but said it was my choice. In the event, I had no side effects from doing that, but I am well aware only from this thread, that it is not like that for others. Give it a try is the only advice really, but if there are precautions like those detailed here, then it is a good idea to follow these just in case.
