Answer
I don't know if the chlordiaz will help.... the hard part is catching the abnormal rythym when it is happening... sometimes we put a 24 hour monitor on someone to catch it, but sometimes we have to put longer monitors, sometimes for a month in order to catch the abnormal heartbeats.....   if it keeps reoccurring then you have to get the monitor to find out exactly what it is.
