Hi, John. As alluded to by Jackie, all of us are different and, as a result, we may experience differing reactions to meds. If the BB is giving you a tough time, perhaps you / your doc might agree to trial a CCB. If that occurs, please let us know how you take to it. Thanks. /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM
Pill-in-the-pocket beta (or calcium blocker)) or flecainide (or other anti-arrhythmic) may also help. Good luck! /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM

Not sure I agree, George. Think his comments are sufficiently broad to encompass any path to "afib-ness"... whether it's from not doing enough or overdoing, or an inherent defect, or doing or being exposed to the "wrong" things... or even stress... for our particular set of biological components... etc. The point being: Something's at the root of the prob.by LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM

"The trick of hope — and the medical decision Posted: 31 Mar 2015 04:36 AM PDT Last night, during the intro show for the PBS documentary, Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, a Ken Burns film based on the book by Siddhartha Mukherjee, Katie Couric interviews both Ken Burns and Dr. Mukherjee. The moment occurred about 10 minutes into the video. There is a poignant scene in which tby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM

From March 3, 2015: "A Report from Western AF: The Tide Is Changing It was an honor to speak at the Eighth Annual Western AF Symposium in Park City, UT. Western AF is always a great meeting, but this year it was special. Something big happened. You could sense it in the room and in the conversations. Mainstream electrophysiology gets it: AF is a symptom of a systemic disease. At Weby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM

Right side... way better for me. /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM
Thanks for sharing, J. Particularly signifcant to me as I'm about 90 minutes away in SWFL. A few others on the board have spoken highly of Dr. P as well. Also, wasn't aware that CTs can now make the TEE -- certainly not an enjoyable procedure -- unnecessary. Best wishes for a successful recovery! /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hi, Liz. Just had to jump in after reading the above entry. Wanted to share that, after following this board for many years and reviewing the multitude of posts from Jackie on a variety of subjects, there's no way I -- and I'm confident a huge number of others here -- could ever agree with the characterization of her in your post. This forum would not be all that it is -- a wealtby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM
I second that emotion, Duke! All the best to everyone here. /Lby LarryG - AFIBBERS FORUM
