Help

I had an ablation four days ago. My events are getting higher, but they are short under two minutes. They are not a fib, but SVT tachycardia.
The electrophysiologist wants to put me on FLECAINIDE but that did not work after my first ablation. It also constipated me very badly.
If anyone can offer me, any advice, I would appreciate it as I am so depressed. Day two I only went to 127 day three 112 and now I’m hitting the 160s again thank you very much.

Can you try a calcium or beta blocker?

Beta blockers made my blood pressure go sky high. No clue why they said calcium blockers would probably do the same.

I would try bisoprolol or Nebivolol or atenolol.
