Is there a more effective treatment for my erratic heartbeat than what I’m currently receiving?

high blood pressure treatment
wrepete1951 asked:


I am 55 and have been under treatment for an erratic heartbeat since I was in my late 20′s. However, the treatment I’m presently receiving – 320 mg. of Inderal per day plus 1.5 mg of Xanax – is only partially effective. I am wondering if there might be a more effective treatment available to me. The condition doesn’t bother me much when I am resting or relaxed. Though it seems to be triggered mostly by my emotions, I have noticed that more and more it flares up under physical strain as well. I seriously doubt if I could endure a stress test simply because the fear of such a test would probably trigger an episode before they could even start it. I’ve never had any chest pains or any other symptoms of heart disease. I am also being treated for mildly high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and an anxiety disorder. What bothers me most is the degree to which I am affected psychologically by all this. It puts a crimp in my lifestyle and keeps me from doing things that I might ……
otherwise do. Oh, and by “erratic heartbeat”, I am not alking about a rapid or racing heart. I am talking about a condition where the heart seems yo lose its rythm and creates a sensation of having a butterfly lose inside my chest. Also, I would prefer that only qualified medical personnel answer this question. Thanks.

    use to be Nurse/ Aid,but talking from my own exp.lose the salt,try sea salt still use little of that,cut way down on sugars,even sugar free,people don’t understand that sugars (any)acts just like salt do,I’m sure you can find this out on the net,cut back on your fat intake,get more sleep or just lay down alittle,try diff.sents around your house,colors too,and sound, it will make a big diff.in your life.But as for as cramping your life style maybe this is your life style and you wanting to do diff.may just be the thing thats causeing the whole problem in the first place,try beening in peace see what happens….Pearl g..Take Care of YOU..peace out

    For this information its impossible to know what your hearts rhythm.
    For this if you need either holter monitor or both are ways of recording what your symptions for this if you have to say that the problem may be more about your condition specifically it is causing your hearts rhythm.
