So tired struggling with work

I was just diagnosed this week and i know i have been very very tired and weak. Don't they have you on blood thinners also? Why would they not start treatment were they not sure if it was AFIB. I am not sure about caffeine because i think that can exacerbate AFIB. Again i am a newbee maybe one of the seasoned AFIBBERS can answer that one. I sympathize with you for sure- that is awful to have to work when you feel so weak and tired. Hang in there. 

Hi your body will eventually get used to the blockers. It will take time though, you could ask your GP to try a different make, I tried a few before I got mine right.

Caffeine can bring on afib! Are you maybe on too high a dose? If your liver function is at all compromised then the liver does not process drugs as fast as a well performing liver and the levels of the drug can then be higher than they should be.

Hi, how often do you get AF.How long does each episode last.How long have you had it. if you are only taking Beta Blocker that is not a treatment for AF. It merely slows the heart rate down and can make you very tired.

but won't prevent AF

Did you see a Cardiologist?

What was his diagnosis.?

I think I posted before, but I have had the same experience with beta blocker, they make me tired and slows my heart rate down so much that it becomes extremely difficult or impossible to exercise or even some activities of daily living. So discussing this with my cardiologist, I decided to focus more on taking Propafenone (antiarrythmic medication), sometimes even before any symptoms arise. These make me tired but usually for a shorter period of time. So i try avoiding beta blockers as much as possible.

I have been diagnosed but Im 39 and at very low risk of complications so no blood thinners. They have told me these are the best ones to be on and i'm on a low does of 1.25mg. Before I started them I was having attacks of up to 5 times a week lasting anything up to 10 hours, I now have only had 1 in the past 2 months.
