Arrhythmias Support Group
Cardiac arrhythmia is a group of conditions in which the muscle contraction of the heart is irregular or is faster or slower than normal. Some arrhythmias are life-threatening medical emergencies that can cause cardiac arrest and sudden death. Others cause aggravating symptoms, such as an awareness of a different heart beat, or palpitation, which can be annoying.
Has anyone had an ablaiton for inappropriate sinus tachycardia? I had a pacemaker put in because at the time the cardizem was working a little too well and dropped my rate to the 30's. Now I am just starting cardizem 180 twice a day. When my rate was in the 30's I was only on 120 mg daily. My EP did not want to do the ablaiton because of my asthma and the risk of damaging the phrenic nerve. I don't know what else to do. I can't take toprol or any drugs in that class because of the asthma. I did take them and they made the asthma so much worse. the lowest I go is high 80's when I lay down but as soon as I stand up I am in the 120's and when I exercise I hit 160. I can't funcition like this anymore. I went through all the aggrevation of having the pacemaker put in and now I don't even use it. Anyone with any suggestions or adviec?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
It went along fine, not problems with the procedure... My flutter stopped, but the a-fib returned. !!!
Doctor increased my Rythmol from 225 to 325 twice daily.
Very occasionally I get a bit of tachycardia now - they think the scar tissue regressed and exposed a bit of the 'hole' where the nerve tracks, however I can put up with this as it only gets to about 180 at its worst and not for very long and not very often.
