Read through the recommended leaflets and did get some answers to my question. Sounds like rhythm and rate control meds have to be taken with caution as they affect conduction through sinus node which is already delayed by first degree heart block.. At least I understand a bit more before seeing the cardiologist which always helps I find! Many thanks for the advice.
