@essexian, here's hoping.
NEway, I'm just back from doc with the OK to halve my BB dose* yet again, so that the 5 little bundles of joy remaining in the box will suffice for a sojourn in the desert** or a Parliamentary recess. However, he now wants a pro-BNP*** check for diminished pumping oomph. Oh, and dial back the caffeine.
Not to zero, though.
The damnable thing is that none of the symptoms he's investigating were present (a) before the
Thane of Glamis cardiologist murdered a night's sleep with simultaneous BP & ECG holters and then inflicted the BBs after a single salvo of AF that occurred about an hour after I'd kick-started myself with two cups of tea & two espressos next day and (b) before the BBs sent my riding pleasure & post-ride recovery to hell.
