I had my pacemaker fitted on the 10th March and am still having episodes of AF and also more frequent episodes of tachycardia which I didn't have before. I have just spoken with my consultant who said it will be another one or two months before I have the AV node ablation. In the meantime he is prescribing bisoprolol 5 mg once a day which he said will help with the rapid heartbeats. I took these tablets over four years ago and had side effects from them. The consultant felt that as I had the pacemaker fitted there may be an improvement.
Has anyone else taken these tablets in between having a pacemaker fitted and then the AV node ablation?
I am feeling very depressed with the whole thing.
Thanks in advance for your help.
