Of the three drugs you mentioned. Metoprolol is by far the most used and most mentioned drug here on the forum. The other two, are rarely mentioned, but claim to have less breakthrough. I was on Metoprolol prior to my electrophysiology procedure for SVT. While it was successful, I remain on lower dose Metorpolol today (75mg per day) for control of mild hypertentsion. It is very effective in doing that for me at literally pennies per dose. That said, I found it to be very ineffective for control of SVT. It did literally nothing for me to prevent episodes, and I tried dose levels from 50mg to 200mg per day. I did notice that it make the episode easier to convert, but I remained at 3 to 5 episodes per month.
Hi, I have mostly pacs I have been on timilol for 35 years, it has helped but I think with any med you will always have them, some times worse than others, the meds just help to make them less, we hope
Hang in there, you had a great check up and dr said hearts fine and these are not going kill you, just feels like they are, most important thing is try to remember that, that are harmless

I was on Atenolol for 7 years and it kept my afib in check. I'm on Metroprolol right now, waiting for an ablation. It keeps my heart quieted down, but I don't think it will keep me out of afib permanently. You might ask about other meds, can't hurt.
I have all the same things. I do pretty well on metoprolol although I haven't been tried on either of the other meds.
