Irregular heart beat

[Staceymac2025]

Hi everyone!

My mum (67yo) has been diagnosed with an irregular heart beat. It was diagnosed Nov 2019 and despite being on blood thinners and bisoprolol (10mg as of last week) since then her heart rate is still around 100bpm whenever she goes to the GP. Her blood tests come back fine and she had a chest xray and ct scan last Nov, both of which came back normal in relation to the heart. Her ecg showed the irregular heartbeat but her heart rate was too high for the echo scan too show an accurate result, so nothing came of that.

As her heart rate is still higher than the GP would like despite being on 10mg bisoprolol she's been referred to cardiology, but i'm now worried it might be something more serious because of this. Has anyone had a similar experience? Wouldn't anything more serious have showed up on the xray/ct scan?

Thank you in advance for any replies!

Mie mi_a mers mult mai bine cu Atenolol 50 mg/ zi.Bisoprololul mi_a dat multa aritmie si extrasistole.

Hi... The previous responder is saying they did better on Atenolol than Bisoporol which caused arrhythmias and extra stools (?).
