Different day:Same heart rate

[heller29]

First episode of reentrant tachycardia I was at 125 heart rate then after ablation 82-84 -now I am in Atrial flutter at 110 continuously. Anyone have continuous non-changing heart rates?

Yes, I get atrial flutter at times.

One time Flecainide didn't appear to be helping and I went to see a GP. Several ECG's showed my rate stuck at 150, which I knew was the case, and I can tell you I felt dreadful - almost too ill to walk. I thought he would send me straight to A&E, but no he said to go home take another Flecainide and if that didn't bring my rate down to go to hospital then. Well, the extra Flecainide worked and it made me very grateful then that I wasn't sent to A&E.

How are you feeling with your rate stuck at 110 and what medication are you on?

Is your heart rate making you feel ill?
