I am a 70 female with low alpha-1 antitripsen causing mild COPD. After hospitalization on IV Solumedrol, I have had persistent atrial fibrillation and some PVCs and PACs. My blood pressure seems to be under control. The A-Fib goes on for hours and is often a quivering, jiggly sensation and/or accompanied by palpitations...with normal pulse rate due to the Cardizem. I have seen three cardiologists (we have homes in different states) and have gone from Norvasc to Cardizem plus Metropolol, then Bisopherol and when we returned to Florida the cardio doc put me on Cardizem yet again plus baby aspirin. Eating, reclining, or turning over in my sleep causes pounding and/or fluttering heart. I am affected daily and nightly and feel as I am not in control of my life any more...this affects everything. I only take 30mg. Cardizem as needed....and can double it if necessary....but if my b/p and heart rate are so low...I am concerned that my b/p will go back down to 80/48 with pulse of 46 as it did on .25 Bisopherol...way too low. I feel as if I am just on my own with this. The doc wants to see me in May. Good Grief. Any suggestions.....please. Lynne
