I was wondering if anyone here has been able to successfully treat their arrythmias, either with medications, radiofrequency ablations, or any other thing I haven't mentioned here.
I have lately been experiencing very symptomatic arrythmias. Friday I was sitting at my desk at work reading a document when I suddenly felt one and thought I might faint right there. It went away quickly, and I was fine, but today I had another similar experience. Thank God I have an ICD, so at least I don't worry about dropping dead right there on the spot so much, but the symptoms are really disconcerting. I hesitate to tell all of my coworkers about it, because I don't want them worrying about my falling down in front of them all of the time, but at the same time, I worry about myself, and my 2 year old son when I am the only one taking care of him.
I currently take 125 mg. of atenolol daily, and I have an ICD interrogation scheduled for Friday. I just had my ICD reset to record all arrythmias over 150, so hopefully it caught one of these. Obviously, something has to give, but I am not sure what is the next step. I would welcome any thoughts.
Thanks.
Cynthia
