plbutler 24 Posted November 26, 2012 Glad to hear all is well with you. DId they give you meds before surgery to ward off an episode? The cardiologist I saw in the hospital told me the same thing. He ran all the tests and said I have a very healthy heart. I go see him tomorrow for a followup and get his clearance for my new surgery date, Dec. 11. Very excited!! I'm so excited for you!!! To answer your question, yes, I took a Verapamil to keep myself in check. Prior to surgery, I took a pill every day. The nurse practitioner did tell me to explain to the staff when I checked in that the Verapamil was for Tachycardia and not blood pressure. They don't want you taking blood pressure meds, but they let me have it for Tachycardia. Good luck on December 11th! Keep me posted! 1 JerseyGirl68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
