Hi all - I have a pre-scheduled appointment with the EP tomorrow morning and I am not sure that I should even go. As some of you may remember, he wanted to me take that really strong beta blocker with iodine and I refused. I saw a different EP doc and he suggested that I just learn to live with the PVC's and PAC's. I have been trying to do that, but I am not very good at it. They are totally driving me nuts and since I am almost a year out from surgery to have my aortic valve replaced, I really did expect all this to go away. It seems to be getting worse instead of better even though I am trying to ignore it. My cardio put me on magnesium to see if that would work, but no go again.
What is your opinion? Should I go talk to him and see what his options are? The last time I was in there, he said if the medication did not work he would do some kind of study or procedure to try and control them. If it was you, would you go or just cancel the appointment and continue to try and live with them? I did have a stress echo a few weeks ago which showed that my aortic valve is working great and my mitral valve is still leaking, not better, but not worse either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And since I am still on crutches and have my leg in a cast, that is a concern too, since I will have to rely on someone else to drive me to the appointment. Thanks again!
