Sometimes it takes time to adjust to medications and the side effects like exhaustion go away. If not there are many medications that may work better for you, or even adjusting when you take it, like at bedtime, can help

I got a doctor appointment next week to discuss medication hopefully I find something to help.

Bluj ~ Yes some lucky people can overcome these problems. For those who aren't as lucky, like me, it's important to follow your doctors treatment regimen and there's no reason you shouldn't lead a long productive life. This ain't the end of the world, just the beginning of a new journey.

and it's nice to know treatments and tools that are available, but remember your doctor is the one who went to medical school and knows the best approach for your condition. Besides he has malpractice insurance. If you self treat and choose wrong, you can't sue yourself. (a little heart disease humor). Seriously those new treatments and techologies are great but you don't jump in and go to end game, it leaves no room for future.

I too am computer controlled by a CRT-D, that's a pacemaker defibrillator on steroids, and I'm paced in both ventricles 100% of the time. Yeah it's saved me more than a few times, but you are not at that point and I don't recommend you jump in and get one until, and if, you really need it.

You are most likely taking a blood pressure medication and as I said they can make you tired and lethargic until you get used to them. Ask your doctor about taking them at night. Have some patience and hopefully it will self resolve.

Good luck and keep us apprised of your progress.

Thanks for the info. I'm in process of trail and era with medication. Im feeling overwhelmed and trying to figure things out I just pray and take it one day at a time. I have another appointment tomorrow with my cardiologist to discuss another medication. I saw a Electrophysiologists and he said the test showed my heart was fine and that I should discontinue the medication I'm taking but if I was fine I would t have sinus tachycardia. That's why I'm going back to my cardiologist to discuss this. I will keep you inform.

Hey Bluj,

Are you feeling better? what did your doc recommend this time?

Hello,

I am currently on viibryd for my depression that I take once a day in the morning and nadolol that I take once a day in the evening I'm still having good and bad days. I still get tired and I know il never be the same again. I'm just going day by day it scary and hard the viibryd medicine is helping my depression and the nadolol help my tachycardia some dont feel 100% but I dont feel any med will but I go back to my cardiologist in February so she will see if I will stay on it or switch.

Hello again,
Do not be worried, you will get over it. And like any other difficult day, these will come to pass too. You are not alone.
Whats is important now is to stay relaxed and take good care of your health. Watch your diet and perhaps inquire from your doctor if it is a good idea to take some vitamins

I was also recently told I have sinus tachycardia and it's gotten so bad I can't stand up without my heart going nuts. It makes me incredibly sad because before two months ago, my heart was totally normal and I could work out and do everything I wanted. What I was told by my electrophysiologist is that sinus tachycardia is a symptom, not a diagnosis. So if you can find out the underlying cause - either medical or mental - it is possible for it to go away. That is the hope I'm holding onto right now AMEN
