I developed this whilst having covid 19. Have been on bisoprolol and apixaban eversince. Now suddenly my heart rate has shot up to over a 100 beats per minute. My gp has told me to increase bisoprolol which i did this morning so am hoping it deals with it. I think it is another tablet she prescribe a month ago which has caused it as nothing significant has happened to cause it.... nothing stress related that is. I feel fragile, tired and a bit wobbly at the moment. Have to keep sitting down its horrible!!!
I too recently went into AF, completely out of the blue. .
I felt absolutely dreadful, HR went very high I too felt wobbly, and kept thinking I was going to faint.
Anyway that was 3 weeks ago.
My Heart rate was still not controlled, with original meds I'm SOB climbing the stairs no energy. The wobbly bit is, your Heart rate can not support your BP. Mine was up and down too.
I spoke to my Cardiologist, (I work in Cardiology so I'm very lucky)
He doubled my Beta blocker, so morning and night, plus I'm on Apixaban same day and night, he told me that they could add another medication (Digoxin) but I am booked in for a Cardioversion in 10 days. As I have a structurally normal heart, we are all hoping it will revert back?
I hope the additional meds work, but if not get back ASAP to your GP.
Feel for you
