I am Vagal, only get AF at night when resting---I have taken Propafenone (150mg.) every night before bed for about 14 years, my EP has never had me take a AV nodal blocking agent. I have never had any problems such as you have had, perhaps it is because I take a small amount.

Prevention of vagal type LAF
Flecainide and disopyramide can be quite effective in preventing vagal LAF episodes. They are both powerful drugs and can have very serious adverse effects so they should only be used by afibbers with structurally sound hearts. Beta-blockers and sotalol have strong beta-blocking properties and are contra-indicated for vagal afibbers as they are likely to worsen their condition by further increasing vagal dominance of the autonomic nervous system. Propafenone also has beta-blocking properties, but is likely to be OK for most vagal afibbers unless they have a genetic predisposition to metabolizing the drug slowly. Some afibbers have found the time-release version of propafenone (Rythmol SR) to be significantly more effective than the standard version taken two or three times a day.

Propafenone also has beta-blocking properties

However, although the beta-adrenoceptor blocking effects are readily demonstrable in vitro, clinical data are more inconsistent, because the beta-adrenoceptor blocking action has been reported as being undetectable to significant.

I had to drink beer to counter the beta blocker effect of it. No lie.
