Suggest Treatment For Tachycardia
Question: Thank you. I have been diagnosed with tachycordia. No combination of medications has worked..not calcium channel blockers, beta blockers..with warfarin...or anything else that should slow the heart
rate.
It has been recommended that as the above drugs cause drowsiness and generally a tired feeling..and as I feel a million times better when I am not taking them, that ablation - now - is my only choice.
I am active and having a demanding profession, which I enjoy...and wish to continue..even at age 60.
Thank you, XXXXXXX
Do you agree?
