Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Ask your MD!: S/he needs to know your hr is still rapid on b blocker and maybe monitor your heart to see what the rhythm actually is. Also, state clearly that you need to have an explanation of why the hr is rapid and what you can expect to happen in the future if it cannot be controlled. Good luck!
