I'm no expert but I would think if you're already on a beta blocker then they'll increase the dosage. If you're not already taking a BB then they'll probably add that to your list of meds. I can't think of any reason why your ICD would increase your HR as it doesn't affect how your heart works other than pacing it out of a high rhythm, though some people have the pacing on the ICD adjusted to stop their heart rate going too low. Good luck for Monday
