Hello,
As per my clinical experience, as multiple medications including beta blocker and anti arrhythmic segments have been prescribed with multiple side effects, it is the demand of case to be evaluated in details.
In my clinic, I do recommend:
- Base line EKG
- Complete hemogram with electrolytes
- Thyroid function tests
- Pulmonary function tests
- 2D echo
Based upon which, type of tachycardia, arrhythmia or other disorder is to be figured out and manage accordingly best way with least side effects of the drugs.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
