Last year my beta blocker dose was doubled and I found I couldn’t exercise for 2 minutes before I became short of breath and legs ached. My BP and heart rate were also ridiculously low so I researched alternative supplements. I halved my bisoprolol and added Hawthorn and COQ10. I can exercise again and so far am arryrhmia free. I wouldn’t suggest anyone tries this as could be harmful but I do believe in researching and educating ourselves and questioning docs re medication. Michelle, 42, 4 years
I had a driving ban for 6 months which ended up being 8 months due to all of the paperwork. I also have an ICD although I don’t find this has affected me in any way at all. I’m tired all the time but I put that down to having a busy lifestyle more than anything. Imogen, 21, 2 years
