Has anyone tried a daily prophylactic dose of Metroprolol before bedtime? My cardiologist tells me it "may" help prevent an A-fib episode.

Does your trigger tend to be adrenergic or vagal (parasympathetic). For more description go to [learn.afibbers.org] and click on "Are there different types of LAF?"

Basically an adrenergic trigger would happen from increased activity. For example, lifting something heavy up ( a friend got afib when going to pack out a deer he killed, up a steep hill). Vagal or parasympathetic triggers happen after exercise, while quiet, after eating or during sleep, generally.

I think the reason a BB can help some of those with sympathetic or adrenergic triggers is it acts like a "governor" on your metabolism, kind of keeping it tamped down.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 21 Feb 2024 19:05:22 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194798,194798#msg-194798 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194798,194798#msg-194798
