My cardiologist says. I’m not having issues with myocardial bridging. Doesn’t feel the pressure is coming from the bridging.

You may want to talk to your Dr, about looking into a different Beta-blocker, I started with Verapmil, which was not a good fit, then Coreg CR ER the brand that worked for 17 years till the manufacturer changed and now it's packaged as the brand Coreg CR but is actually a generic Carvedilol which gave me severe rashes that simulate burns marks all over my body, I now have scarring and severe hyperpigmentation. If you are feeling skin burning please have your doctor look into that immediately. Apparently, Beta-blockers can cause these reactions, I had blood work that revealed toxic levels of neutrophils. My former cardiologist, who I am seeing again changed me over to Bystolic, which seems to be a much better fit for my Myocardio-bridge. Hope you feel better soon, and be well.

My cardiothoracic surgeon said my MB was too close to WidowMaker artery to operate/unroof. So that was the end of him being willing to answer any questions. During angiogram, developed stroke like symptoms with Fentanyl (but not a stroke). Rush to ER, get CT, and observation to discover I have a severe sensitivity to Fentanyl. Couldn't talk, move limbs, etc, lasted about 15". Take 75mg Metoprolol daily. Exertion induced angina- like swiffering the kitchen, 1 flight of stairs, any incline at mall, getting out of bathtub. 73years old. Was very active until angina symptoms and syncope in 2022.
