Had ablation last year for AVNRT, successful. I still suffer from PVCs. Lately they are trigeminal -beat beat pause. Had an episode of this the other day and suddenly heartrate jumped to 160, got real scared. I took .25 xanax and calmed down. Cant take betablockers since I have low BP. What are my options and how dangerous is heartrate of 160?
Hi Thrive read your query and I understand your concern I would like to tell you if you are experiencing episodes of tachycardia or heart rate more than 160 then there is possibility of AVERT re-attack.It's advisable for you to undergo HOLDER monitoring at least for 48 hours to evaluate significant pauses and AVERT. You can personally meet a Cardiologist and can discuss cardio selective beta blockers that don't lowers Hopefully I answered all your queriesWish You Good Luck
