Medications: All medications have side effects. What you are describing may or may not be related to your medications. Your General Physician or, preferably, a specialist Cardiologist, may need to adjust your medication. Take a complete list of all of the medications that you take, whether prescribed or over-the-counter, to your practitioner for a review.

Alternative: You don't specify what type of tachycardia you've experienced. Even though you're on a low dose of beta blocker, I feel your fatigue is caused by bilocor. The other 2 medications are alpha blockers and are less likely to cause fatigue. Verapamil or diltiazem are calcium channel blockers used to treat supraventricular arrythmias and are less likely to cause fatigue. Discuss with your prescribing MD
