ask him to explain why you need a BB.
Because he's on flecainide. Almost all EPs will insist on a rate limiting drug if you're on flecainide.

Wouldn't that depend on the heart rate while in afib? For me - currently not on any drug - resting HR is 60 - afib HR is 75. Now taking flecainide as a "pill in the pocket". Doesn't seem that I need a BB.
After my January ablation, I did take flecainide for two months with no BB.

How do you know if you are vagal or not? and if you are vagal, then what's the best treatment? No doctor i've seen has mentioned Vagal VS androgenic. (Must not have had time) In what way can CCB's make afib worse? More often? faster beats? longer lasting? Sorry for all he questions, but i think i might be vagal and doc did RX a CCB (haven't started it yet)

The Anti-Fib
A Holter Monitor from a Dr's office would be the most comprehensive, but maybe not as practical, as you would have to get the extended report, and go back and remember what you were doing days earlier.
