I'm closing in one my 1-year AVR anniversary and noticed that under stressful situations, I still have the occassional heart arrhythmia or skipped beat.
During my initial 12-week rehab, I had some heart arrhythmias that were noticed by the rehab nurses. After wearing a halter monitor, my cardio put me on some calcium blockers, then beta blockers and now I'm down to 12 MG of Toprol XL.
Over the past few weeks, my life has become pretty stressful due to some career demands, etc. I have noticed that during moments of higher anxiety, stress or exercise, I still have the occassional missed beat or heart arrhythmia. Upon researching this, I found out that the beta blocker (Toprol) might actually be contributing to this.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this? The last time this happened in late February, my cardio reduced my Toprol from 25Mg to 12Mg and the arrhythmias went away. I'm confused
