First showed up in my early teens and was no big deal. By late teens is was becoming more of a problem, but had a very slow heartbeat because of the Propranolol and then was put on Digitalis. No better, so I said forget the meds. Have not been on regular meds since until now, though have tried BetaPace and others with now great success.
I am very leary of the meds and they tend to slow my heart WAY too much. So far now reaction that I can see to the Amiodarone.
1993 it became so bad that I went to Cardiac Emergency. They threw the paddles on and did an RF ablation the next day calling it Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. Said they were successful and I felt better for a few months.
1996 had another rush to the hospital and they felt it was caused by an ulcer and the resulting blood loss. Tried BetaPace at the time and it slowed my heart way too much, so cut to half dose and it still did.
Since then have tried some meds, with no success.
