Brief Answer:
No such interaction so far

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

So far, there is no reported interaction between zopiclone and bisoprolol.

As it is a sedative drug, zopiclone will also reduce heart rate. You should monitor your blood pressure and heart rate. If heart rate will be reduced, should discuss with your doctor to adjust the dosage of bisoprolol.

Although no interaction has been reported so far, I highly advise to report to your doctor any unusual symptoms you might notice.

All the best!

I was diagnosed with benign PVCs and they feel like they are changing and becoming more frequent, is there an underlying issue that a holter monitor and an ecg and an ultrasound of my heart wouldn't pick up? Because thats all the tests I have done.

Brief Answer:
There's nothing that your exams wouldn't pick up in your case...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

You have done all the needed test and fortunately it was only benign PVCs. There's nothing that your exams wouldn't pick up in your case. You should stay relaxed and don't think over cardiac issues anymore.

Wish you health!

Well they are very bothersome and annoying I'm going to ask my cardiologist if i can get catheter ablation to stop them all together. I live in a small town of 30,000 so I have to wait until one comes in March. Do you think radio frequency catheter ablation is safe and worth trying?

Brief Answer:
Catheter ablation is a safe procedure and is worth trying...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Catheter ablation is an alternative to prolong medication and is a minimally invasive procedure. As a such this is a very safe procedure and is worth trying if PVCs are bothersome for you or you don't like a prolonged medical treatment with a betablocker.

However you should wait for your cardiologist consultations to see if you are suitable for catheter ablation.

Wish you health!
