I have permanent A/F and have not had back pain until I was diagnosed with A/F 5/6 years ago. I'm overweight,more sedentary since I was put on bisoprolol and rampril. I'm off the beta blocker now but still have awful backache when I stand to do anything. I feel ok when I walk and keep moving. Is my posture...I'm overweight or another side effect of the meds?

La plupart des personnes en surpoids ont toutes sortes de problèmes articulaires ; le squelette n'a pas été conçu pour supporter un poids excessif et, avec le temps, les articulations commencent à se comprimer, ce qui entraîne des douleurs. Le fait que vos douleurs dorsales aient commencé avec les épisodes de fibrillation auriculaire était, à mon avis, une coïncidence.
Cela dit, la fibrillation auriculaire pourrait également être le résultat d'un dysfonctionnement cardiaque causé par le surpoids.
Vous êtes dans une situation exceptionnellement difficile, mais la meilleure façon de tenter de la résoudre serait de commencer à perdre du poids et de le garder pour de bon. Situation très difficile, mais je ne pense pas que vous puissiez résoudre les autres problèmes sans aborder d'abord le problème du poids.
Bonne chance

Réponse à votre question : pour moi, non, pas de douleurs au dos. Si vous, comme vous le dites, allez bien en marchant, alors comme l'a répondu frank61666, cela semble être une compression et vous avez besoin d'une meilleure chaise. Quant au bisoprolol et au poids : je suis en surpoids, mais j'étais à un poids constant jusqu'à ce que je commence le bisoprolol, et j'ai pris du poids, surtout dans le ventre, ce qui est typique selon ce que j'ai lu sur ce site. De plus, il semble que cela me donne envie de manger régulièrement, donc cela ne m'aide pas non plus de ce côté-là.
Ramipril was very, very bad for my PAfib. Bisoprolol is much better.
Do you take statins?
No statins, stopped the atenlol about a month ago and I'm just on 2.5 rampril. I've just been reading on the web that rampril can cause backache! Maybe I've found the culprit.
Prior to the atenlol I was on bisop but had bad side effects so my GP changed my meds to atenolol. Same prob though...bad side effects.
I agree! I have to lose some of this weight gained through lack of activity.. The beta blockers certainly slowed me down. Prior to the meds ,I was a fairly active person. Thanks for your reply.
Hi Elizabeth,
I was diagnosed with PAF a year ago and put on Bisoporol and eventually warfarin, I also experience backache since I started the meds, but am as skinny as a rake so although I agree with the others that weight is a factor, it isn;t in my case.

I have lower back issues due to spondalosis, but it had got much worse when taking apixaban & sinvaststin,
since i have stopped theses 2 drugs i dont get very little back ache or pain, i also feel much fitter & not as tired as before when on the drugs mentioned above.
I take 2.5 mg rampril and rivaroxiban. I have awful backache when I stand. I have to keep sitting down! I'm not in so much discomfort when I walk. The backache and shaky feeling in my legs only started when I was put on bisoprolol and rampril.im off the beta blocker now .
I've read an article...think it was daily telegraph...that attributes lots of side effects..including backache with meds!
Neither my GP or the cardio, thought it was due to meds! Very dismissive. Keep taking the tablets!
I would like to know if A/F causes the backache. Fed up trying to find the answer!
Thanks for your post.
No I dont think AF causes back ache / Pain, i am almost certain it will be the side effects of the Meds', it was in my case, & of course you being over weight does not help
Riveroxiban is the same as Apixaban
Thank you so much. Take care.
