Well, the EKG results were just a couple of hours ago and I haven't heard back from the cardio team. It was my Apple Watch that diagnosed the AFIB - the EKG just confirmed it. I wouldn't have had the EKG if it hadn't been for the watch alerts. So I'm not complaining about the alerts - they were correct.
I was on a beta blocker for about a year after my initial heart issues were diagnosed in 2015. I stopped taking it because it caused tiredness and weight gain while doing absolutely nothing for the irregular heartbeat. I briefly tried a different one, but it didn't work any better. If they want me to try yet a 3rd beta blocker I suppose I will, but I have no great expectations for it.
How were you diagnosed? I assume that you had actual symptoms? We can discuss this in private email if you'd rather, but I'd love to compare notes.
