bigeminy

Just looking for advice.
Had PM for 2 years and for the first 18months and was going well with plenty of exercise apart from funny feelings when relaxed. The funny feelings have got worse and now get out of breath and light headed. Apparently I have Bigeminy beats and it is making me useless . What can be done to stop it? I have a Boston CRTD 4.
Thanks mg

I assume that you mean pulsus bigeminus.and that you have been fully evaluated with ECG,blood tests for cardiac enzymes & thyroid studies. There are many causes including beta blockers and other drugs.

The treatment depends upon the causes.

Have had now had lots of tests and apparently I`m in bigeminy most of the time because of rogue cells . Ablation for the time being seems to have been ruled out . Increasing the Beta blocker seemed to make me worse. I`ve now been prescribed Amiodarone to try.
The bigeminy seems to have a mind of its` own and some days just makes me absolute rubbish.
It has definitely got worse since another minor operation. When its` not doing it I feel fine with plenty of go but this just leaves me breathless and a bit light headed.
Has anybody been down this route or suggestions to try?
Thanks mg
