Hi there.

Just a quick note. I ended up in Hospital again on Monday. Did not feel well and went to GP who did ECG with results: twave abnormality, something about Ischemia, left atrial enlargement, sinus tachycardia 132...

GP send me back to Cardio who did all the tests possible and conclusion: permanent sinus tachy of range 110-140 b/m. I was then transferred to a Heart Hospital. Had more tests done by EP Specialist who did my Cardiac Ablation last year. HR when I am in deep sleep: 90-120 b/min.

I was discharged today, but have to go back again when I am 3 months post op (end June). They want to make sure that it is not an electrical problem, but it is to soon post-op to tell if there were nerves damaged during the op, or if it is just something that will sort itself out. In the meantime I have been put on beta-blockers and BP meds that will control BP (hypotention), but I still have CHF and Atrial enlargement and the fast HR is not helping at all.

Aparently there is a CHANNEL BLOCKER (Corolan) that Medici is still working on that can help me, but it is only available in EUROPE/Buenos Aires?

Has anyone heard of such meds?

I feel a bit better, knowing that there is nothing dangerous going on, just annoying tachy.

Speak to you again soon :)
 
Sorry to hear you had another bump in the road. Hopefully it's not something long term and will short itself out over time. I don't know about the meds you mentioned but hopefully somebody with some insights will come by shortly.
