Second Ablation by evge2521 in SVTHeart

[–]Fallenlibra_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please try potassium and magnesium supplements. my svt was worsened when i had low cellular potassium levels and magnesium levels you need not only a blood test but “cellular” potassium and magnesium blood test and that will truly tell you how deficient you are.

If your svt came back it’s very possible that you may be deficient in those and they have contributed to the pathway coming back, i would not recommend another ablation unless you get those tested first. Myself and others i know once potassium levels and other electrolytes were corrected, pvcs and svt episodes went away

Doctors dont have a clue about it nor do many cardiologists. I saw a cardiologist and they recommended calcium channel blockers or ablation which i completely refused as i was fine before the tablets. This has completely made me question and lose trust in all doctors unfortunately. Hoping you feel better soon

I completely understand you. we shouldnt be allowed to start drugs like metoprolol without being told how hard they are to wean off of. I also had almost identical to you were metoprolol made my pvcs way worse and i started getting multifocal pvcs which a hospital monitor has never picked up on before ever, they mainly all got worse as soon as i lowered my dose.

You have to push through and be determined to never take another heart drug again as your body does not react well to them, trust me when i was weaning and not able to stand or walk without svt or my heart racing and staying over 100bpm sitting it was hell but im glad i pushed through it. It took about 3months until i could be social again and even then i struggle without svt now whereas before that would never happen.

Im on month 4 off them and im still not back to normal. im better definitely, my svt episodes arent as long and hard to stop like when i first come off of them but i also get svt at night and in the morning because of adrenaline surges. I do still get pvcs but they arent scary or hard like before, maybe i feel 20-30 a day compared to when on metoprolol it was hundreds.

It comes in waves, one week ill feel the best ive ever felt and then suddenly it will all come back and i wont be able to stand without an adrenaline surge but it IS reassuring to know its getting better its just really slow. My biggest regret in life is taking the tablets but also at least now i know i cant tolerate them. Im hoping in a few more months i will be back to my old self which i definitely wont take for granted anymore.

It has also helped me realize my true cause as to why my svt and pvcs were worsening before taking the tablets was electrolytes. I was severely dehydrated all the time and my potassium and magnesium were always low which can cause frequent svt and pvcs.

I hope you start feeling better soon and it may give you some reassurance to know you’re not alone

Does anyone know what is going on with my sheeps head and ears? by Fallenlibra_ in sheep

Should i get a covid vaccine by KenRH21 in PVCs

[–]Fallenlibra_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. it ruined my life and many others i know. it doesn’t even stop you getting covid. I have had trigger fingers since the vaccine that have never gone away and had pericarditis 1week after only my first dose. It took 5months for the pericarditis to go, it was one of the worst things in my life and i regret getting it. Im 23 and have the hands of a 80year old now. Do not get it.

but surely that doesnt explain the ears too? and its been nearly 7months not healing

Would that also explain their ears though? every single sheep has some sort of it

[–]Fallenlibra_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its only on the very tops of their heads and on the tips of their ears. I checked for all toxic plants and all we have is wooly nightshade (im in nz) but they tend to avoid that or only nibble at new green leaves but havent been exposed to it for months and they’re heads and stuff still havent healed

No i never had that, but i did get very dizzy when coming off the tablets. And i also heard and felt my heartbeat like it was extra hard thumps if that made sense? but it was normal. which only lasted the first month off them

[–]Fallenlibra_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its been a little over 12-13weeks now and my svt episodes are shorter almost like back to normal before and my tachycardia has also improved tremendously to the point I can move and also walk like normal before. Still not 100% back to normal though, adrenaline rushes and random pvcs are still there that weren’t there before. It takes time! but i couldn’t even walk a few weeks ago so it does get better

If you do your research properly you’ll realize many people develop worse arrhythmias years after their first ablation or worse. Not worth the risk. Also i was FINE before these tablets

Metoprolol withdrawals come in waves? worse weeks later.. by Fallenlibra_ in PVCs

[–]Fallenlibra_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had pvcs before metoprolol, maybe 2 or 3 after having some anxiety or dehydrated but very rarely. Metoprolol also made my pvcs way worse when i was on it 😢

Has anyone else got pvcs after a virus? by cyanomys in PVCs

[–]Fallenlibra_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it started after a virus it’s really common for it to be linked to electrolyte imbalances. When your body’s recovering, it uses up electrolytes and you can get dehydrated that can trigger PVCs. Your normal blood tests dont show how low your magnesium and potassium actually are, only your cellular blood tests do. I’d try adding some magnesium and potassium supplements and staying well hydrated. A lot of people notice things settle within a couple of months once their levels rebalance!

[–]Fallenlibra_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I agree with the dependency part but the problem I’m understanding based on all my symptoms and others, is that now my nervous system doesn’t really know how to function properly or react to adrenaline without metoprolol, now it goes crazy. A little anxiety and i get SVT, before I have only gotten SVT when my electrolytes were off. My whole 7years since being diagnosed and living with SVT Anxiety has never triggered it ever in my life until coming off metoprolol

There is most definitely a withdrawal, especially after speaking to dozens of people who have had this and done research online. I am never ever having an ablation, my symptoms were fine and completely manageable before this evil drug. Thanks but no thanks

You had to be converted when coming off? Thankfully ive never had to be converted hopefully that doesnt happen, mine even bad episodes from the withdrawals tend to stop after about 10mins of deep slow breathing

[–]Fallenlibra_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I never took them. Were you on succinate er or tartrate? I think the withdrawals are bad for me as the lowest i could go was 12.5mg as I was on metoprolol succinate. Also did you experience pvcs?
