from trying various doses of Diltiazam 180, 120, 30. Also Metoprolol 25mg

My last is Atenenol 25. Today I’m On my second day and my HR is 53, my legs are mush, I’m dizzy and weak laying on the couch.

[Tantaanna in reply to mjames1]

I sent an update to Natalie s nurse this morning. I complimented Dr Natalie, told me of my trial and error of meds, getting no response from scheduler and asked for his help in deciding on the best care for me and whoM that should be from

As I said or didn’t say , on my phone consult on January 28th, Shannon the PA said Natalie could do an ablation but it will not be easy and not done in deep sleep. I said I’ll do an ablation. Shannon said, Ok I’ll tell the scheduler to get you lined up. I waited one week then emailed and left texts and phone messages with Amy the scheduler, I got no response.

I had to seek help here with previous Drs and they are not so easy to let me get in an appointment

I know they meaning here in Mn , will suggest a pacemaker I mentioned that to Texas and Shannon but then…etc that’s not the answer

Natalie s nurse replied to take half of 25mg

Also that she would check on why I haven’t heard about the schedule for the ablation

I can imagine that you are fed up feeling distressed by all this. Let's hope your previous EP will know a way forward that will make you feel less anxious and altogether more yourself.

yes mist definitely! I know I’m experimenting anxiety as well. I’m using meditation to help me. Found good one I have not used before- connected to afib help. Trying to find gratitude each morning as I awske

get a Kardia or Apple Watch and record your episodes to see if it is svt or Afib. Follow Natale’s prescription and ask them if you can take 12.5 mg twice a day instead of 25 mg in one shot.

I do have an Apple Watch and have it connected to an app on the phone I’ve been recording my BP and H R on paper as well

Hi

Remember you need to separate the CCB Diltiazem to the AM and have the BB Horrid Metroprolol to PM.

Metroprolol made me breathless and left me avge 187 H/R Day and high BP.

Diltiazem controlled me. Now H/R 69-88 DAY. 47 H/R at night.

Bisoprolol put on in between but at 156 avge and 120+ at rest did not control me.

It takes patience and time to get it right.

Takr care, JOY. 74 (NZ)

The nurse / one that’s iconnected to my previous EP) said we do not want you to take Diltiazam. Thank you for your reply. It’s the next am and my waking HR is 59.
