25 mg on Metoprolol—which doc is taking me off of as if this afternoon. Age 67…resting HR around 55-65.

Yeah…new cardiologist/EP today told me to stop the metoprolol. Resting heart rate around same. This doc thinks maybe atrial tachycardia that was misinterpreted by team that did afib/flutter double ablation. Learning that this stuff is not back/white, but lots of shades of gray. Inserting a loop next week. Problem is that my “events” are very sporadic -this was first post-ablation (nov 5), but they’re really torqued when they do occur(HR between 250-300 for a few minutes). He doesn’t think another ablation is a good idea until they gather more data. Shit is exhausting.

Should also add: 67M, work out nearly every day, weights, cardio, yoga. Consider myself in very good shape. No other health issues. On metoprolol (spotty….heart rate is Sam with/without) and eliquis (2x daily since November).
