He has stopped the Sotalol, and now wants me to take Flecainide 50 daily with Bisoprolol 1.25.

I am going to wait a few days as I still feel rough from the Sotalol, and want it to be totally out of my system before starting a new regime.
Echo and stress test were normal, the afib came on as I was cooling off from the test.
Normally I take a small amount of Metoprolol if the hr is high and start NOAC if I get an episode, and stay in bed until it converts (usually 12+ hours).

If one takes flec daily, what happens if you get an afib episode?

Hi Carey
No the metoprolol is from previous script.
I wouldn't take the two. I did tell the cardio that i respond well to it, but he wrote bisoprolol anyway.
I read a few papers on the intermittent use of noacs, and discussed with him about it. After some thought he said he would read one, which i sent him. He doesn't have a protocol to recommend such use, which i accept.
My understanding is that afib induced stroke is most likely to occur within 10 days of afib, and that noacs act very quickly, thus the rationale that one starts as soon as episode occurs, and continue for a number of weeks.Hey, thanks for your feedback. I always find this forum very helpful
