Well, it hasnt been great, but it hasnt been bad.
Still taking metoprolol 25mg at night. The odd thing is, when i treat this like an inflammation issue, it seems to get better. the longest i went without an episode was 12 days, but it hasnt been permanent. taking the baby aspirin at night for instance seems to lessen occurrances
doctors are still frustrating, completely glossing over the fact since, this whole thing started, the ONLY thing that sets it off is lying down on my side to sleep. Caffeine, exercise(even getting my HR as high as 144 bpm), sex and even alcohol do not set it off(which is really odd since alcohol is supposed to be one of the biggest triggers for it.)
Ive lost 7 pounds since June 2, now being classified as simply overweight, as opposed to obese. but i dont think its enough weight loss to make this go away(if indeed it is a factor). i prob need to lose around 19-20 more pounds before that can occur.
ive now seen a cardiologist and two other doctors for second opinions. the third doctor is going to recommend me for the abblation process. my ulterior motive for looking into it is im hoping the doctor that performs the procedure will ask me a lot of questions and maybe just maybe one of my answers may clue him in as to if this indeed just simple afib or perhaps theres a physical cause
still only happens when im laying down on my side and if i lean forward i can sometimes get palpatations
