Hi all,I am noticing my HR a bit restless right now. 10-15bpm higher than usual. And feeling what think are a number of ectopics. Also accompanied with cest pains.

I took a Flecainide 50mg and Bisoprolol 1.25 which has seemed to help V the Bisoprolol alone.

Anyone else similar ?

New chest pains merit a call to your doctor and/or emergency services for advice and evaluation.

Have you had these chest pains before? If I had any chest pain I would be seeking advice right away. In fact I think I'd dial 999.

Yes I have Jean, when I've had runs of ectopics which I think this is. It's mild, but bothering me cos it's a set back and a sign my heart isn't at rest

Thanks Greg, yes pretty sure that's it for me. Heart not been happy last couple of weeks. Now seems to be coming back to my normal. Tho my loop recorder I have embedded showed I was in AF on 1st May x 20 mins, first time in a,while with reducing meds.

Seems I don't have the right balance yet.
