Question Flying with Beta blockers?

Is it OK to fly whilst taking Soltanol? I am being prescribrd it at the moment, whilst my medical is suspended pending further investigations into my heart.Which managed to get up to 150 bpm for a three day period. The doctors investigated, feeding electrical probes into my heart, as they thought I had an extra pathway in my heart. After all the pain etc they found nothing.

Also, will I need to have a full medical and will I definately get my medical back?

Any help would be apppreciated.

I presume you mean sotalol? And I'm presuming they investigated you for a supraventricular tachcycardia?

You must definitely talk to your AME about this. You won't be able to fly until this is sorted out, Class II or Class I.
