Hi,
It simply means drug is inadequate for you and you need to be added on additional drug like Metoprolol. More definitive and permanent solution is electrophysiological studies and ablation which will treat arrhythmia permanently with success rate of 90-95%. So visit your nearby cardiologist who does electrophysiological studies. Or else you can ask your doctor for metoprolol xr.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
