Patient: I had ablation April 17 and was very well until Sept when I had a viral infection which lasted 6 weeks and triggered fibrillation for which I was in hospital overnight and discharged on Bisoprol. This irritated my chest resulting in a cough inability to walk any distance. Is there an alternative to this medicine, I am due to go on holiday, if my symptoms persist, I will have to cancel my plans. Would be grateful for any advice you can give. Doctor: Hello, As the symptoms severity is much, evaluation with x-ray chest and basic lab tests to define the pulmonary insult is a must. I do not recommend traveling in this condition. Current relief with gargles, deep breathing exercise, cough preparations till further guidelines with details of reports.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
