Newly diagnosed with AFib and Ventricular Tachycardia

Actually, my heart is having Ventricular Tachycardia and is ceasing to beat at all for up to 5 beats maximum (having been documented thus far) and causing my oxygen saturation to fall. So far my Endocrinologist has only focused on my thyroid but, I have had a lot of stress and feel like it could be an adrenal gland problem as well.

@grandmab33 Has anyone suggested a small dose, initially, of metoprolol or something like it, to see if you get far fewer episodes? If it works, it probably is an adrenal response, but not necessarily adrenal in origin....if you follow. There is such a thing as pheochromocytoma, but they are rare, and I doubt that it would produce your condition anyway.
