Yes, I have read quite a bit about blocks. They can be helpful; not always the first time. They are other meds out there ie: Verapamil, Neurontin, etc. A concern could center around your cardiac status. You can't have a MRI but a CT scan can be done with a pacer. The best luck to you. I understand completely, as I am 10 months in my clusters without relief except for high dose steriods.
