Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks to all for responses. So far so good with Verapamil and rash seems to be fading. is taking the Verapamil to control the rate and pressure, Coumadin to guard against clots, Lexapro for depression, and Chrestor for cholestorol. She went through the electrical shock treatment which induced a normal mode for about five minutes before lapsing back into the irregular mode. Though her heart beat is irregular and skips beats, the rate is down in the 70-80 range and her blood pressure is normal. So if she can find a medication that doesn't produce some unacceptable side effect, we are set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi The doctors in my case decided against it, the words they used was that because I switch between Afib and sinus so many times that I would be back in Afib before I got chance to leave the hospital.
