Hi Coromia it's probably the bisoperol that's making you feel bad when your pulse dips. It made me very tired and eventually , after many years, I stopped taking it. It made a huge difference to my life. I can't comment on your other symptoms though. Let your doctor know when you get home. Hope all is well. Terjo

caromia, Please get seen by someone. The tingling and numbness in the face, arm, or leg on one side of the body can be signs of a stroke or TIA.

It may be nothing but I would get it checked to be sure.

Thank you for reply.I have put that question before but think only one other member experienced similar...Today has been worse day for months and not back in UK until weekend.My GP is baffled with all different symptoms.Appointment with Cardiologist on 17th to suggest to him l see an EP.Could it be possible that my catalogue of symptoms be medication side effects.Thank you for taking time out to answer.I do not discuss my condition with anyone other than people on this forum and my GP they would think l was a hypochondriac.c

Hi Caromia, I too have odd tingling sensations on my lips across my back and my feet and hands. This does not happen all the time an my GP seemed a bit mystified but thought it may be to do with paf. I am not on the same medication as you though , except aspirin until about 5 months ago. Nick

Thank you for your reply.So that would eliminate the medication and l havnt heard of Asprin causing these side effects.The tingling also sometimes in tongue and nose and like you feet and toes...C

Hello Caramio.

I recognize the symptoms you describe. After my last big PAF episode I had exactly the symptoms you describe. They went on for a long time. My cardiac consultant was so concerned that he referred me to a neurologist. Absolutely nothing was found and both consultants concluded that my whole system had been so shaken by the violent PAF episode resulting in my peculiar symptoms. Eventually they settled down. Hope this helps.

Hello meadfoot,Thank you for for this information. When I put that question out to the group a few days ago I was in Spain having treatment on my back from a colleague of mine thinking maybe I have a trapped nerve. The tingling is likened to a little electric shock and attacks the tip of the nose,cheeks,fingers and lower legs mainly. I was very scared as I felt sure I had a weird sensation throughout my entire body. I arrived back from Spain last night and only had slight tingling just as I am writing this, Have a GP appointment tomorrow. I don't feel my condition is being managed correctly by the Cardiologist...Tell me are you happy with the outcome of your results of the investigation and do you still get this tingling. Oh. I also get it behind the pectoral muscle in the chest this feels like I have a mobile phone on vibrate implanted inside me...Thank you for your reply it is good to know others have the same sensation.C
