New arrythmia

Last April I received a dual pacing device, and an av node ablation for atrial fibrillation and atrial tachycardia. Since the insertion of the pacemaker I began to experience ventricular tachycardia. It is much better controlled now with sotalol, though I still have a 3-5 minute occurrence every few days. These are almost always mid-afternoon soon after I get up from my afternoon rest. They do NOT occur after I get up in the morning. Is this progression familiar to anyone? Were there any solutions?

When my ventricular tachycardias showed up on my pm check, it was after a rest. Since being on Coreg CR both my bp and vts are controlled. Hope this helps

Bad hair days can be blamed on your device shorting out.
