Bp 106/56 p120 BP used to be perfect heart rate was the issue afib for 13yrs. Now tired dizzy no insurance please help?

1 doctor answer • 1 doctor weighed in

I have newly diagnosed afib. Is there any relation to anxiousness or nervousness? Heart rate will be fine, but I'll randomly feel nervous or have a scared feeling. Metoprolol seemed to help me feel calm at first, but not now. It does help heart rate.
