I cannot take beta blockers or calcium channel blockers due to low blood pressure so I sympathize. But maybe ask the cardiologist- if you have access!- if low bp will still be an issue if the heart rate is slowed by meds.
Doctors seem really nervous about these meds with low bp. I have afib and got put in the ICU due to bp for an episode while most people just stay home!
Can she wear a patch monitor (much easier) for a month, and during band camp?
How are her hormones (I had PVC and SVT heart issues before my period until menopause)? Thyroid and cortisol levels? I hate to ask but any eating disorder? OOPS just read that blood work was done
ps The cardiologist's caution about meds may be warranted due to low bp. Her heart rate is not arrhythmic so maybe a clot is not likely.
