Hi, Enko!

Sorry to hear about this trouble.   Iīve not the slightest idea of what it all means or Iīd have said something.

I suggest you talk with your hematologist and ask his help.  Youīre needing a cardiologist who is a specialist in arrhythmias.  There are NO studies as to how masto affects the heart, so our doctors are blind and must work on us on an individual basis.  So....YOU NEED A SPECIALIST!

Ask your hematologist to speak amongst his colleagues in order to explain the situation and find a doctor who can help you.  Since his medications affect the heart he needs to be involved.  Also, you can NOT be put on beta blockers.  They interfere with epinefrine if you are in a crisis state.  So make sure the cardiologist knows this.

Hi honey,

thank you for posting. I've already sent this one and previous Holter results to my hematologist, but I think that he didn't read his mail yet. I only wish if I'd have his number to call him  Undecided But then again, maybe he did read it and is looking for someone.. I don't know. He did already state that he'll ask for consultations with other colleagues if needed - I don't think that he'll just let this one go without investigating.

Do you maybe have an article that states the dangers related to masto and beta blockers? I would print it out and bring it with me on Monday to show it to my cardiologist. If I manage to catch him!

Gosh, Enko, Iīve read it several times but it was always part of another publication and I canīt remember exactly where or in what document!!  

When my doctors wanted to do this with me, I had told them of this fact and they ignored me anyway.  So I went to Dr. Castells and asked her help and she sent me an email saying what meds she suggested stating that beta blockers are contraindicated for us.  That closed all arguments!

Try doing some googling my dear - beta blockers, anaphylaxis, mastocytosis epinephrine and see what you come up with.

I'm back! Cheesy

So I've seen my cardiologist and he sent me to ER. Doctors decided to go for pacemaker because total A-V block can make heart stop and be lethal. They discharged me 3 days ago. Things are getting better Smiley I'm resting now Smiley
