General healthexcellent
Current statestill have afib
Triggersstress, anxiety
Preventionsrelaxation
Current medications/side effectsToprol XL - 25 mg : no adverse side effects other than I'm more tired than I used to be - especially in the evenings
Past medications/side effectsNone
History of surgeryNone other than routine stuff like tonsillectomy, wisdom teeth, etc.
Future plansSince the Toprol has greatly reduced the severity of my afib episodes, I am going to stick with it and try to reduce
the frequency of episodes by relaxation and trying to generally reduce stress in my life.
Personal commentsI must be relatively lucky with my afib as the episodes are mild enough that even though it makes me feel pretty
badly, I can still function. I can work, etc., without alot of disruption. My ventricular contractions become very
pronounced and I get some serious headaches along with dizziness, etc., but other than that, I can still function
normally, so it hasn't been a major impact on my life.
