Future plans	Thinking about the new proceedure described as "zapping with an electrical current" I have some resevations as there seem to be a small incidence of failure and future reliance on a pacemaker.
Personal comments	At the present time I ahve recently changed medication and the for six months all seemed well. However about a year ago I had frequent reoccurance and changed to Soltalol, again a period of success but the level of 80mg twice daily did not work, 120mg twice a day had to be monitired with an EKG, seemed satifactory. However still ahd occassional incidences, now trying 80 mg three times daily.
