Has anyone's doc ever changed you to an alternative to biso, I cannot go on any longer feeling like a zombie walking like a 90 year old. And getting breathless.

      You have the same prob as me! Why can't the doc explain if these probs are the AF or the meds? Baffled and fed up.

      The depression from this is unbearable so I know how you feel. I've been there and I'm still trying to get it sorted. I too had a very stressful job,which I think is also the cause of my AF. However,the AF is not life threatening but it can cause strokes. I'm now on the new blood thinner rivaroxiban...no side effects thank god. The beta blockers are still giving me hell and I intend to lose weight,thus reducing my b. Pressure. My BP was never too high. I'm refusing to take statins as my cholesterol level isn't high. I couldn't bear the thought of more side effects. I've been reading up the statins and I've decided it's not for me. Foolhardy ....maybe!

       You are not alone,and I have lots of sympathy for you. Try to get you head round it because it's probably the meds and your doc needs to get it sorted. Best wishes from me.

    I went to the Docs in Monday , explained everything and he says that the symptoms of the biso will calm down , and that once I get  the shock treatment there is no reason why I should return to normal , I hope he's right somehow I dout it , fingers crossed .
