Havent posted for a couple of years after two successful ablations. Mostly everything has been ok since my last ablation a couple of years ago.
A few months ago after a spells of occasional rapid heart rate my heart
suddenly shot up to 140bpm and for a couple of hours was fluctuating up
and down to approximately 40bpm. This has happened now on a two
occasions recently and Im unsure what I should do about it. It always starts
with rapid heart rate and usually lasts an hour or so. I take bisoprolol 1.25mg
but I miss every 3rd day as my heart rate goes too low if I take one every day.
The incidents always happen on the days I miss the bisoprolol.
Any advice would be helpful thanks.
I think you need to speak to your EP or cardiologist or at the very least get you doctor to do an ECG during the period of fast rate to see what is happening. Anything else is pure guess work.
Thanks for your advice, Im off to docs Wednesday for my annual health
review so I think I will start there. Last year I was offered Statins but turned them down as a few folks I know have had problems when taking
them. Im quite fit for my age 80, do quite a lot of walking, I have balance
problems at times but otherwise Im ok.
