Just wanted to know if any of my Chiari friends share heart related problems like atrial tachycardia or irregular heart beat?Do any of you have to take 4 different medications to control heart rate and blood pressure? These were the beginning symtoms that were so odd ...I was so scared being sent to the specialists not knowing then that the root cause was Chiari...I am able to control my heart issues with my prescribed medicines so that's a big bonus
My major kickstarter this year was heart issues. I was having palpitations, tachycardia, and spells where my blood pressure would jump. My normal is 98 over 65 and it would get to 135-140/ 80-90. Had full workup from cardiologist and my heart is not the cause… They continue to watch me and check on things but am not on any meds so far for this. Though they recently started me on wellbutrin cuz my anxiety is through the roof and that is also supposed to help with the hypertension. What’s funny is that I can make the palpitations stop with vasalva(sp?) Maneuver but then of course my head goes crazy. Lol if it’s not one thing it’s another! But we keep slogging through to find what helps!!!
