Follow up : You need to follow up with your doctor to discuss alternative treatments and to discuss your concerns about taking a beta blocker. Sometimes you can take calcium channel blockers and some forms of tachycardia can be fixed with ablation therapy. So you really need to discuss your options with your cardiologist.
