      I am a 73 year old male in fairly good shape except for AFib. I take toprol 100mg. It just slows down my heart. jk I still have AFib about every other month ..they last obout 14 hrs. Sometimes when I get flutter in my heart I eilther cough of enhale air as much as I can ...it seems to help. Some fast beats (like 176) and some real strong ones....Old Norm
