I suspect i might have vagal AF. But, from what I've seen, most cardiologists/eps in the US don't recognize Vagal AF. Have you found anyone who do, and treats it effectively?
Also, does vagal AF only describe the onset of AF? In other words, once you are IN AF, could I take something like metoprolol to slow down the heart rate? (I've read metoprolol shouldn't be used with vagal AF. But, what about if the episode has already started?)
Thanks!

And there is no valid reason to avoid beta blockers with "vagal afib."

That being said, the betas won’t hurt you. Worst case is you feel like a slug.
