Talk to Cardiologist: The most important therapy for pAF (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [afib]) is a blood thinner to prevent stroke (a complication of afib). Beyond that, rhythm control is generally dependent on whether or not afib itself causes symptoms like low BP or discomfort. Beta blockers are 1 treatment option. Calcium channel blockers like Diltiazem are another. Talk to your cardiologist or use HealthTap Prim
