Hi i read your query!

The medication (labetalol + verapamil) serve to control arhythmia and to avoid undesired events such as those mentioned by you.

Also to keep you in normal rhythm will prevent your heart from heart failure and hope this will prolong the time of transforming to heart failure.

Hope it was of help!
