Thank you to all of you and your support and advice. I thank you from the bottom and top of my heart 💓

My cardiologist rang back had a chat dictating a letter to GP for bisoprolol. She said it may not help but if it puts your rate back it’s worth a try.

Also she said this hospital is full of covid so I don’t want you in A+E.

Also I remember someone saying drink a glass of cold water. I did in one go and it’s brought my pulse down already or am I just nuts ??. But it really has.

I can breathe better at least. Bless you all.

Hi Sotolol

That's fantastic news darling. Brilliant response of your Cardiologist. So so very happy that you received medical help over wifi. Praying you staying well right, haha, glass of water next time as well!!!

How much Bisoprolol (mg) has she perscribed??? I am on 2.5 mg a day, take it at evening time 8 pm! Before took it in the morning but felt like a complete ZOMBIE all day 😎😁😊

Relaxing with a cappuccino now 🍵

Now where is my water. X

Hey I'm so pleased to see this! Isn't it weird they never tell you to experiment with time of day for your meds? Bisoprolol made me feel like a Zombie too, that why I'm on Flecainide. Fingers crossed...

You are not nuts, a fridge cold drink down in one stopped my last episode immediately. This method is likely to help those with a sensitive Vagus Nerve the most.

Glad to know you are feeling better. Keep safe as they are all saying nowadays. Really good to avoid hospital if at all possible. I try to avoid them at the best of times but it is hard. Last time I went for an appointment on Jan 8th my wife caught a bug in the huge waiting room. We were sat there for two and a half hours as Doc running late when we got there but couldn't leave as nurse still called me in for a few tests before Doc was free. My appointment was 2.45 and didn't get out until nearer 6. First time I had seen the car park nearly empty but still cars parked at odd angles on grass verges etc looked comical but when they got there that would have been the only place to park.

All the best.

Funny eh. Humans. Crazy. Hope you manage to stay away from them all. Not humans hospitals. No pressure then. ! Cheers.

Glad you are feeling better. The Bisoprolol that I also take seems to work better if taken at night according to people's posts. Yet, my doctor told me to take it in the am with the Eliquis.
