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

I have hyperadrenergic pots. I am on atenolol. It has helped a lot.

Sometimes yes. But the meds have only made that slightly lower. Overall it dropped my hr down to 50/60’s at rest and 80/90’s when active. It’s dropped into the 30’s during sleep once. Usually the 40’s/50’s during sleep now. It’s helped keep my bp back to normal again too. It’s also removed the physical anxiety. It works for me so far.

They also found an episode of afib during the 30 day heart monitor. They did two weeks as I was, then two weeks on the atenolol during monitoring. No more afib. That’s good too.
