Is It Dangerous To Have Heart Beat Of 130?

I have had an ablation on my heart, during which they damaged the right bundle branch. I am having multiple ectopics for which the Dr prescribed beta blockers. I have had to come off them as i was having severe visual disturbances. My heart rate as we speak is 130. Is this dangerous. I have been referred back to my cardiologist for a more specalist heart drug

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult cardiologist to rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart).
Since you had atrial fibrillation (AF), possibility of recurrence of AF is more.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg).
Early identification and prompt treatment is needed because this can be dangerous and life threatening.
You may need anti arrhythmia drugs or repeat ablation procedure to control heart rate.
So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
