hi all a few days ago I posted my most recent rendering…spoke to a Dr yesterday who confirmed that I didn’t have heart failure that news was absolutely wonderful…he confirmed it by discharge letter comments and the last EKG that I had done at the hospital last Thursday. But had the most awful night last night fast heart beat about 90 I couldn’t get much of a pulse …I thought the new pacemaker would kick in …but it didn’t …I know that it works if the heart beat gets too slow…. I was at the point do I call for an ambulance …..plus I have the most debilitating wheezy cough I deep breathed …coughed, bore down trying to get heart back into sinus Rythm…I was at the point when I thought shall I take 1.25 Bisoprolol …to slow the heart down. My ribs and chest area ache today …Can Bob inform me or one of the “helpers” would it have been ok to take the Bisoprolol….. I felt pretty rough last night and exhausted. I have booked a call with surgery to seek advice. Also have swelling where they put in new two lead Pace maker last Wednesday….I was taken off Bisoprolol completely by Cardiologist. I seem to get more help from this site than anywhere. Look forward to any advice anyone can give.
