concerned teen

how is everyone ?
well heres my update last friday my defib went off , i was just walking back no fast from the store . Im not quite sure why i went too the hospital an the doctor that did my surgery looked me over an said my medcine i was on call metoprolol only lasted me 6 or 8 hours so now im on this new medcine called bisoprolol he said this should help. But my concern is im having lots of trouble coping with it im still very sore an weak .

Hello, I too take bisoprolol and found it made me light headed which gave me anxiety when I would go out somewhere and I found out that my b/p was always low. My doctor lowered my bisoprolol and ramipril in half-5mg to 2.5 mg- and I feel much better now, my b/p is normal and steady, and also I am not as tired as I was. I don't know if this will help your problem but I think you should talk to your cardio Dr.

I know what you are going through. I'm sorry that you, at your age has to have this happen. Please feel free to look at my profile and read my comments about being shocked. Just know that you are not alone and when working properly the DF is trying to save you. I wondered if it "fired" because of fast HR from your activities or did get you out of a danger zone? Hope you are doing okay with your anxiety and know that it eases up after a while. ..........Laben

thankyou so much !

hey there laben .
i will for sure look at your page
espically being concerned about not knowing
what i should be going through really gets to me
i just need the reasuring that whut im going through is normal. An the doctor told me it was kind of a fluke the DF didnt know what to do so it kicked in right away i was not doing anything too speed up my heart rate too that rate at all , i was just walking but i did not notice it went that fast an i walked right through the whole thing then fell .
