That would be best answered by a doctor ... if you are anxious it could

help...whether or not you are in afib.

n, there are two types of tranquilizers Major Tranquilizers, also called

anti psychotix meds, which are helpful for people with shizophrenia and other

serious psychiatric illnesses. In that case they are essential, but you would

need to make sure that the med does not affect your AF or interact in a

problematic way with your AF meds.

You were probably asking about minor tranquilizers or anxiolytics , mostly

diazepams such as Valium, Xanaz, and others. These can be very effective at

preventing or getting rid of anxiety and even anxiety attacks. Many have posted

as to the dangers of these meds if they are used inappropriately, because they

can be very habbit forming. So the idea is to use them if needed, botonly then

and not just for the routine day to day anxieties we face. Good luck,
