Re: atrial tach.
Ditto- Beta blockers are normally the first line. I am sure your docs will be working with your meds.

Re: atrial tach.
thanks for your fast responses... I guess when you're not used to them, it's scary. As I mentioned before, I've only had few premature beats in the past and now having this experience...the increased dose of atenolol (from 50 mg./day to 100 mg/day started yesterday) has helped but still felt a few this evening..maybe it takes a little time\"It is not length of life, but depth of life.\"

Re: atrial tach.
There are no quick fixes... give it some time and you should see some improvement.

Re: atrial tach.
I was having PACs and PVCs when I reduced to Toprol 50mg from my 100mg dose to see find the optimum dosage. Also, they started happening 3 days after I reduced my dose, of course the next day after I had a chocolate dessert.
So I went back to 100mg Toprol, and it took about 4-5days for PACs and PVCs to go away. The dose change does take some time to settle in especially for me..
Also, I don't know if you do, but having a pacemaker makes PVCs and PACs felt more. Supposedly, I have always had rare PVCs, but I feel them since I had pacemaker. Never felt them before.
Hope you feel better.Ketan Thanki
