Suggest Treatment For Irregular Heartbeats And Sleep Apnea
I am an eighty two woman with an irregular heartbeat-not AF. After an ablation attempt failed, I was put on Sotolol which has not worked. The cardiologist prescribed propafenone which I started taking yesterday. He also suggested that I be tested for sleep apnea and said that my heartbeat will not improve with medication if I refuse to use a C-Pac machine. I am on oxygen now for emphysema and would prefer to continue that. Would you agree?
