Over the last couple year I have been diagnosed with... inappropriate sinus tac, nonsubstained v-tac, neurocardiogenic syncope, and on a king of hearts monitor EP said that the rhythm is like a block, but not? Between the P wave and the start of the QRS, it will get wider and wider then skip a beat and start all over again, get wider and so on...I currently take Rythmol 150mg bid. My questions is, do you know of any other beneficial treatment plans that I could discuss with my physician?
Ps. I am 25yrs old. Thank you a hole bunch..

Dear Michele
There are many medications that can be used for arrhythmia control, either alone or in combination. It may be best to see a cardiac electrophysiologist, given your complicated history, to determine which medicines would be safest for you. The block that you describe on your EKG sounds like one that is not dangerous and rarely causes symptoms.
I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
