Atrial Fibrillation For No Reason

[gordiescotland1]

I am having infrequent episodes of atrial fibrillation with no rhyme or reason to them I'm on beta blockers to control the rate normally about 80 a minute so I'm not aware of my heart beating too fast I am only aware of it when I check my pulse and I feel it irregular. But my doctor says there is no point keeping on checking my pulse as I'm on a blood thinner and beta blockers so rate will be ok and less likely to get a stroke. Your average person does not check their pulse at all and I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that know I have it. So do i just ignore it and get on with my life

Yes. Like I do all the time. Just keep taking the tablets!

BTW I was admitted to hospital on 25/8/15. Venticular rate was 140. Still about 98/100 even after Bisoprolol (Beta Blocker) and Rivaroxaban (Blood Thinner). Am waiting a cardioversion so you are not doing so bad. :-)

We are on the same medication I take 5mg twice a day of bisoporol and 20mg of rivoroxaban at teatime doc says bisoporol will control the rate but not the rhythm my episodes seem to be more frequent and lasting longer but when I make an appointment to see doctor I'm in a normal rhythm when I get to surgery !!
