Your blood pressure of 150/98 and pulse of 100, despite being on medication for AFib, suggests that your condition may not be fully controlled. It's important to consult your doctor promptly. They may adjust your medication, recommend lifestyle changes like reducing salt intake, or explore other treatments. Avoid over-the-counter NSAIDs and certain asthma or thyroid medications, as they can worsen AFib. Always keep your doctor informed about all medications you're taking.
