Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group

Yes, it is invasion. However, it can be necessary and in my case was.

How do you feel about brixit? Talk to a therapist about your concerns and hit a pillow.

I have normal/low blood pressure. The beta-blocker I take, metoprolol, has successfully controlled my non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (in addition to the atrial tachycardia and occasional skipped beats). Betablockers and calcium channel blockers are routinely used for some arrythmias. Ablation is an invasive procedure and if you dont need to go that route I think it's better. But each individual case is different.

Hawthorne is available in liquid form and diluted with pure water is great. Also, a certain sugar most do not know about, D-Ribose, is used exclusively by the heart to restore it after exercise and should be part of your regimen.

Beta Blockers help control your blood pressure. PERIOD. Not your heart rate. To totally control your heart rate you might need what is called an ablation where the problem nerve is eradicated via electrical burnout. The procedure is only used in uncontrollable conditions and you must be observed for at least 5 hours afterward, sometimes overnight.

Maybe you should look on the web to learn about Beta Blockers.
I've had a Quadruple Bypass, and had a PVC (Preventricle Contraction) problem corrected through an ablation. It was activating 20 times a minute and depriving my brain of the necessary blood to continue functioning. Occurring 20 times a minute is not conducive to proper functioning of one's brain nor of the heart that got plugged enough to present with the signs of a heart attack; profuse sweating, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue. Coming home after work, sleeping 2 hours, then getting up, fixing dinner, eating, going back to bed and getting up 6 hours later to go back to work.

I also had, in the past been on Lisenopril, and ACE inhibitor. Did nothing to help with any problems I was experiencing.

Please look up information on your medication and ask your MD as many questions as necessary to get the information that satisfies your mind. Your kids need their entire dad's attention and these health problems leave so little time to devote to your kiddos. They will be there for you all the way.

Hi,
Just a brief introduction into who I am!

I’m a 49 year old guy from Leicester UK,
Married with two boys aged 14 and 17.

Last weekend I was taken into ER with a fast and out of sync heart beat,
my heart was beating between 100-205bpm, I was diagnosed with AFib.
After 20 hours of blood thinners and Beta Blockers my AFib stopped.
This is my 4th occurrence in 30 days but 1st time diagnosed.

I have been medicated with Beta Blockers.

So that’s my introduction.

My first question....
Will the Beta blockers help to control the AFib attacks?

Thanks
Alan

I also safely use hawthorne berry for heart health and regularity. Be careful! Hawthorne also duplicates some of the work of beta blockers and calcium channel blockers. So if you use those you have to experiment slowly and carefully with adding hawthorne. Your doctor would want to know you are taking hawthorne. Some doctors know more than others about its benefits. Be patient.

500mg hawthorne berry twice a day . 2 cups a day of Hibiscus tea(I buy organic hibiscus flowers and make tea with those I side a tea ball) hawthorne berry is widely used all over Europe for the heart. Google it.

Wow, I don't know, but have you tried a second opinion.

I am taking eliquis, losartan, hydrochlorothiazide, verapamil,and metoprolol. Various doses, some twice a day. Also, I now am wearing a loop monitor. This treatment is for apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ventricular tachycardia, and some myocardial bridging. To be honest, I'm not sure any of this is doing much. It doesn't take much for me to feel fatigue and breathing heavier, and I used to run marathons. Go figure!
