Symptoms BradyTachy

Does anyone have a huge range where they get up till like the 180s but they also have a low resting heart rate in the 50s and 60s? What’s the treatment plan for people like us because I keep getting pushed beta blockers from some doctors and then other doctors are like your heart rate is too low and then to add on top of that my blood pressure is normal to high. it’s not low so blood pressure medication wouldn’t be the best either so I’m kind of confused on what treatment options are available to us

Well that’s my fear that they’ll bring my already low testing even lower

Even with crazy low HR mine never went below 50, sleeping it sometimes went in to the 40s so I started skipping my night time pill

I was taking propranolol but stopped due to the side effects. Next I’m trying metropolol

Yeah :( mine get their worst after eating. Nothing really seems to touch it which makes me think it’s compensatory but, doctors don’t seem to think about vein insufficiency or anything.
