Thank you so much for this forum and for taking my question!
I am a 26 y/o female, exercise regularly. Past hx of psvt, had an ablation in 98. Since that time I have a resting pulse of 90-120, and hypotension ranging from 76/30-90/60. Before the meds I was having syncope 2-3 times a week when standing for long periods of time (I am a nurse and on my feet all day). I take proamatine 5mg every 4 hours while awake. I also take atenolol 25mg prn when my heart rate is over 120. The atenolol does not seem to help much, and I am still having presyncope symptoms on the proamatine. -Is there other hypotension meds that you know of that could help? I also have asthma which has been much worse the last few months. The albuterol sends my pulse sometimes above 160. - Should I worry about this heart rate when it is caused by the albuterol? -Can atenolol make asthma worse at this dose?
Also, I have had pvc/pac since the ablation, I am used to them. For the past two nights I have been woken up by what feels like a fluttering with some chest pain. It felt like my heart wasn't beating then about 6 seconds later it felt like all 4 chambers tried to beat at once. It did that twice and then went into a normal rythm. It sounds very strange but I don't know how else to describe it. - Does this sound like normal pvc/pac or do you think I should get it checked out? I only see my cardiologist every 6 months and don't know if I should see him earlier because if this. Any advice you can give would be appreciated! Thanks again!
