Confused digoxin or bisoprolol

[Teddi63]

Back again I was going onto 1.25 bisoprolol after 2.5 too strong as dr thought be good with 5 mg felopidine couldn’t break 2,5 as to tiny Rang sugery and said be better on Digoxin which I’ve taken 2 days my pulse is so erratic I’m not happy I’m having injections today and I don’t know if they’ll do it as dr said they would I’m now trying to get private a/f but not sure how to find a good one and fast as I’m fed up talking to drs on phone and everyone says different I’m in Cornwall and we have duchy private hospital in Truro but do I phone and ask for a good dr and how to pay for myself and will can you do this as I can go on worrying pills are right or wrong so I think best take none until someone’s tell me which to take so sorry keep on but Af makes you feel poorly so need to find someone who knows what’s happening and tell me what to help and happier to go private and actually talk to someone thanks

I rang direct to the private hospital I chose here and got an appointment within days.I then went on same EPs NHS list.

Some ask for referral from GP I believe.

The best for me was the time to talk properly and the short wait.

Best wishes

Thanks Wilsond I talked to gp tea time He was referring me so asked him to make it’s a private refer as years ago I saw a good A/f dr but I only got a/f occasionally and be taken to a and e and realised it would happen about 9 hours at night I decided I could cope witha/f at home as I could sleep on it knowing it stopped in morning but this time it won’t go away so see Afdr thanks as I was going to phone duchy but as I talked to gp asked him to do it If it takes a long I’ll phone duchy thanks again

Good luck and write all your questions down on a pad,with space in between to write down their answers. Take your time to write them carefully !

I asked

" what are the % of success "

" How do you define success?"

" Is the ablation just for QOL?

Or is it known if it can protect the heart therapeutically?"

" If you were me ,would you have it done ?"

" How many do you do it per year and your success rate?"

" Is my medication correct as I wait for ablation?"

" Will it be you or another consultant doing it? If so how do I check their profile ?"

Just thought I'd share some ideas .
