How did you wean off Metoprolol?

Definitely, I’m now in possession of a $75,000 loop heart monitor implanted in my chest just above the left Atrial Chamber. Because of my 1 in a million birth defect, the top Electrophysiologist Cardiologist in the Major Hospital near me took a keen interest in my case. My heart is monitored 24/7 by the company who watches my heart thru my recorder out in Oregon with their plant in Germany. It records every heartbeat my heart produces to map out where the short circuit is, so a very rare procedure can be preformed on me when the mapping is completed. I’ll be strapped onto an operating table because the procedure is so delicate, I can not move for roughly 10 hours. Then he’ll slip a special device down thru my neck into my right Atrial Chamber and destroy every Heart Cell involved in the short circuit, one heart cell at a time. Interesting, you bet, my heart is so rare, I doubt any doctor in my state has ever performed a procedure like my doctor will get a chance to do, a once in a lifetime kind of operation. To think I never would have found out about my birth defect had I not done my research and learned I was going to the wrong cardiologist.

What an amazing opportunity for both you and your doctor! You must be so glad that you took the time to explore other options rather than just take meds.

Do you know long it will be before the mapping is completed?
