It's hard to determine how quickly you should lose weight because if you lose weight too fast, that can adversely affect your health. Once you are able to get into a structured dietary program, you physicians can then determine the rate at which you should lose weight. Secondly, your medications do seem to be appropriate to treat atrial fibrillation and hypertension. You may find that losing weight alone will dramatically reduce your blood pressure. I hope you find this information useful and good luck with the weight loss program - you sound like you have the strength and character to accomplish this goal.
