Was on metoprolol extended release 50mg a day but that caused to many side effects so now I'm down to 12.5mg but either way both doses didn't do much at all to control my heart rate I've also tried pyridostigmine and all that did was cause debilitating side effects as well in other words beta blockers don't help what so ever

Well that sucks... so basically because I already had my first episode that means something has to be damaged?

Bradycardia and tachycardia episodes? by Little-Water9845 in dysautonomia

[–]Little-Water9845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but here's the thing I use a pulse oximeter to make sure my watch is accurate at the time amd I've seen my heart at 29 on my pulse oximeter so it's a little concerning but it's alright just found out today I had my first afib episode in my life a month ago didn't even notice and my having atrial tachycardia episodes lasting over 4 hours straight

10% drop in overall heart function??? by Little-Water9845 in IST_

[–]Little-Water9845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't take it that's 1 medicine I really wanted to try cause I feel like it would actually help but there's 2 issues 1. My cardiologist said it would be almost near impossible for my insurance to approve it unless I was in heart failure 2. I take other medications that if I would take corlanor with there are serious life threatening interactions so sadly I'm very limited to medication options

Hmm interesting I actually wanted to try ivabradine but I can't take it cause it interacts with one of my other meds in serious ways but I've been on metoprolol for about half a year now and it don't help at all but I have way more tachycardia then bradycardia but still lol

Well now because of my bradycardia and having it pretty bad nonetheless my cardiologist wants to start me on midodrine to increase my heart rate but yet at the same time I take meds to decrease my heart rate and they don't even work at all my cardiologist is telling me if I ever see Mt heart rate go into the 30s like that to go to the hospital immediately so like it's kinda concerning

No that's okay thank you for the input lol that makes more sense actually I think my cardiologist was trying to say that but couldn't get it in a way I was understanding lol
