I just had a Heart catheterization and angioplasty to clear an artery. I'm in the same situation as you. I was on verapimil that had held off the beast pretty well for six months. Just before recent heart problem in July the verapimil stopped working. After heart procedure Dr. changed script to depakote. This has not worked very well. I am 7 days in to pregnesone treatment. Three #10's in the first few days but ok after that. I can't take imetrix for at least several months per cardioligist. O2 works well but have been forced to carry tank in the back seat of the car. I'm a little concerned about getting into an accident with tank in the car but if you get a screamer while driving you have to do somthing. If anyone has any suggestions please email or post. Painfree days ahead for everyone !
