METROPOLOL, NADOLOL OR ACEBUTOLOL WHICH IS BEST FOR PSVT.

[FRED220]

I was seen by EP after 30 days of wearing monitor.For two years I thought I had A-Fib and now my results are PAC, PVC and brief PSVT, he assured me that I was okay and nothing dangerous was going on,  they all are benign.. I was ready to have ablation and get rid  of all this stuff but he said if symptoms were bothering me  too much to go ahead and take meds,  there was nothing else he can do for now. My prior cariologist wanted to change me from Metropolol to Nadolol and now my EP wants me to take Acebutolol. I like to know if anyone here has same symptoms and what meds worked out best for you.

Of the three drugs you mentioned. Metoprolol is by far the most used and most mentioned drug here on the forum.  The other two, are rarely mentioned, but claim to have less breakthrough.  I was on Metoprolol prior to my electrophysiology procedure for SVT.  While it was successful, I remain on lower dose Metorpolol today  (75mg per day) for control of mild hypertentsion.  It is very effective in doing that for me at literally pennies per dose.  That said, I found it to be very ineffective for control of SVT.  It did literally nothing for me to prevent episodes, and I tried dose levels from 50mg to 200mg per day.  I did notice that it make the episode easier to convert, but I remained at 3 to 5 episodes per month.

Hi, I have mostly pacs I have been on timilol for 35 years, it has helped but I think with any med you will always have them, some times worse than others, the meds just help to make them less, we hope

Hang in there, you had a great check up and dr said hearts fine and these are not going kill you, just feels like they are, most important thing is try to remember that, that are harmless

I was on Atenolol for 7 years and it kept my afib in check.  I'm on Metroprolol right now, waiting for an ablation.  It keeps my heart quieted down, but I don't think it will keep me out of afib permanently.  You might ask about other meds, can't hurt.

I have all the same things. I do pretty well on metoprolol although I haven't been tried on either of the other meds.
