in reply to: First set of results since RAI- Confused!! #1067307

yes I too was told to wait at least a month for blood tests as I wanted to go for a blood test after 3 weeks and the endo said that was too soon, and there would be no change that soon… I am going one month out on the 19th, having had the RAI on the 18th of December. I feel "OK", but my heart still is racing which I thought would lessen by now…

Why hasn’t it?
Does that mean that the RAI isn’t working?

I want first and foremost to get off these beta blockers but the cardiologist said my metabolism is still fast…. when should I be noticing some marked difference after the RAI? will anything different show up in the blood test after a month? I have booked and want to get monthly blood tests at the very least to see and know what is going on…. any input would be very appreciated, I am totally new and totally ignorant about all of this…. I just want to get back to my usual exercise routine and that is all I am thinking about, and I want this to hurry up at least to get my normal heart rate back! thank you .

in reply to: How long did it take you to go hypo after ablation? #1067062

I just had RAI about 3 weeks ago, however my metabolism rate is still high, and I still need to be on 50 mg (25mg 2x a day) beta blocker. I am very athletic and want to get off these pills as soon as possible. does anyone have any idea how long this takes until I can get off these heart pills and get back to my normal exercise routines? I don’t have alot of patience and am still swimming, as the cardiol said i could (a little) but a little is still more to me than most people… I am starting to feel a little better, but not really until I can get off these fake pills…. I see the endo on the 19th, which will be a month out from the RAi. Will the blood test show any improvements in the right direction?????? I don’t care about hypo as I will always keep that in check with the dr, and will never gain weight ever, I"d rather starve and exercise my ass off and will get the meds to avoid it…. please my main concern is getting off these beta blockers!!!
