Atrial Fibrillation
"With the start of my diagnosis with afib 3 1/2 years ago, I was started on 12.5 mg of metoprolol.  From the beginning, I seemed to have been made sicker, e.g. less energy and seemingly more afib.



Metoprolol worked against my prostate meds.  Had TURP.  TURP gave me CHF.  While in hospital, a very old fashioned heart doctor got me up to 250 mg/day.  Lots of its side effects.  Stopped it and went to ER.  Went on Coreg.  Gave me swelled legs.  Back on low dose of metoprolol.



Over time, up to 75 mg of metoprolol.  Afib stopped mostly with ICD &amp; 2 ablations.  Last straw was numbness in feet and back shooting nerve pain.



On carvedilol now and no feet numbness nor back shooting nerve pain.  Best I&#039;ve felt in 3 1/2 years.  Only 12.5 mg bid."
