Show: for
Been on this 4 weeks in combination with metoprolol. Still have afib. Side effects tired constipation.
I started out on 50 mg. twiceday and continued to experience episodes of AF.My cardiologist increased dosage to 100 mg. twice daily and I am have had 2 more episodes. I waited them out and my heart rate came down in about 2 hours however because my B.P. zooms up too it scares the living day lights out of me. What is happening daily is wicked palpations several times daily not associated with an increased heart rate. I am having bouts of dizziness and lightheadiness too. Yukky feeling.
