I changed electrophysiologist just recently and I'm not sure if I like the outcome. The doctor did a 30day monitoring and it showed 1st degree heart block, over 6000 PVC's per day, over 350 missed beats per day. The doctor decided to change my anti-arrhythmic medicine to Tikosyn from Betapace. So I have to go into the hospital to change medicines on monday...I suppose to stop taking the betapace on Friday so I can start the new one on Monday. He said that we are out of rhythm options...I have been on every anti-arrhythmic, except the very old ones. We even talked about Amiodarone again but because it caused me to have hyperthyroidism I can't take it again...aarrgg. I am so done! Now I must research old anti-arrhythmic drugs so that if the Tikosyn don't work I will know what to do next. He also said I was not having enough PVC's for another ablation...not that I am mad about that I have had 4 of those already....don't really want another one...seeing as though I have to get one every 2 years. Anyway just wanted to vent...I love this journal thing, I get to vent and no one really has to listen lol
