Suggest Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate
Hi. On March 3rd I went to the hospital to have 2 hernias repaired. They gave me Propofol to put me under and immediately woke me back up. Said my heart rate jumped to 150 when it had been 49. They then called in a heart doctor who has given me every heart test he can think of to see what is wrong with my heart. I have clean arteries, and low blood pressure but my doctor is giving me 2 blood pressure medications to mend the electrolytes in my heart and now wants to have me get a pacemaker, when he knows it was caused by the Propofol. Even the nurse told me that is what caused the problem. I do not want a pacemaker if it isn t necessary for one thing, and do want to quite the blood pressure meds. They are: COREG carvedilol 3.125 mg. 2 a day, and ramipril (Altace) 5mg once a day. They make my stomach hurt.
