Hi. Am also on Bisoprolol and had a recent ECG. Took my Bisoprolol as normal before the test but told the nurse i had taken it. Nobody told me I shouldn't have.

Hope this helps.

Yes - take your normal meds. The ECG will then be indicative of your normal situation.

If you are meant to stop any medication the appointment letter will instruct you.

I personally wouldn’t, as you’d want an event to be happening whilst they’re doing the ECG which only lasts a minute or so anyway, so that the ECG can capture what is happening whilst having your heart issue. Before my pacemaker fit, as I wasn’t on any meds apart from Insulin, I had a 48hr Holter monitor and I induced the low heart rate issue I was getting after any kind of exertion and the event was detailed and showed at one that exact point, with my time log, that I nearly had a complete heart block and was promptly fitted with a pacemaker two days later, no more issues. Thank God and goodness for the NHS. Good luck!

Call the doctor's office and get the list of what to do before the procedure.

It isn't a difficult procedure, but you need to obtain information from the doctor.
