Avatar n tn There are no drug interactions with Ativan and bisoprolol. However, the Ativan may cause some low blood pressure. I am curious… why are you taking the bisoprolol if you have low blood pressure and a low heart rate… seeing as it can worsen both of those??
Avatar m tn Said EKG may show inferior ischemia and at the time my blood pressure was 210 over 130. Gave me Ativan for stress...before I left blood pressure was 140 over 85 and another EKG was better but still showed abnormality. Stopped drinking, smoking all together, working out more, lost weight (was 190 now 175), eating better. Past two weeks have been complete Hell. Couple Sunday's ago I was working out caquse I always do it for a stress relief.

Avatar f tn Any tranquizer will lower your blood pressure but if its high you should also be on a blood pressure pill. I am on atenolol with a water pill.
Avatar f tn My muscles hurts to the touch and all my inside shakes. Went to ER 3 times because of pain. I was in so much pain that my blood pressure was 168/115. Dr gave me an Ativan to relax my muscles. What do you all do or take to cope with Fibro? Thanks !!

Avatar n tn Later discovered it was my Blood Pressure when it surged to 208/115 three times! So now that I am on Spironolactone will this help me wean off the Ativan more easily?
15481674 tn?1440853541 Plus those Antidepressant meds cause me a lot of problems i had to stop the Nurontin 100mg 3 times a day because it made my heart rate go up and my blood pressure go up and it made me weak and feel like i was going to fall out and that was 3 weeks ago than the Trazodone i had to stop because of sever abdominal pain and diarrhea and the heart rate beating to fast Tonight i am going to only take a 1mg of Ativan at bed time and only 1/2 in the morning with my blood pressure pills
1577415 tn?1296778210 Deep breathing will help as well. Both with anxiety and blood pressure. I was on high blood pressure medications, 4 of them actually after I had my daughter. But I worked hard to not need the meds anymore and now no meds and I my BP avgs. 100/60.
Avatar n tn The frustration lies in the fact that I normally have a low blood pressure, and have had pre-hypertensive levels for the past few months until I went on Ativan. I kept telling them that my head felt like it was going to explode. They ignored that as if it meant nothing. My neck would ache straight up to my temples. My eyes feel heavy like I am sleep deprived all the time and the vertigo and memory issues are so annoying.
Avatar m tn t remember the bottom number but is was 80 something) after giving me a shot for a headache I had and a Ativan pill. I felt better. They said everything was fine and sent me home. But how do I know I'm fine. They didn't check my bp before I left.
Avatar f tn Hey there, anyone know if taking Ativan (lorazepam) 1 to 2 days before a blood test for serum creatinine levels would have any effects on results?
Avatar f tn blood pressure is how hard blood pushes against artery walls and 110/70 is great. Your pulse pressure is still 40 which would be the same for 120/80 anyway.
1208858 tn?1265919689 ve been on for years well tuesday evening around bedtime i started having trouble breathing,rapid heart beat, panic nausea my husband rushed me to hospital they took my vitals b/p 182/165 felt like throat was closing up and mouth dried out they put oxygen on me kept my blood pressure going every 15 min hooked me up to ekg machine and mixed me up what they called a cocktail (whatever ) i never did like malox and it also had lidocane and some thing else nasy mixed in it...
Avatar n tn Does anyone have any suggestions or medications that wont fluctuate with my blood pressure and heart rate so i can get a good nights sleep?
1538831 tn?1294199202 Also been constantly checking my pulse because i have high blood pressure and it always seems to be higher when my anxiety is bad. How do i stop thinking about my health and blood pressure, and stop racing thoughts that cause this unreality, without ativan?
Avatar f tn I tried to stopp last night cause thats practically nothing and I got elevated heart rate and blood preasure was 150/90 and I felt kinda dizzy......Oh and during these months I have had numerous blood tests tons of EKG and 2 24 hour halter monitors plus an ultrasound of my heart all which come back normal....Any advice or wisdom for me I want off this drug and i'm practically down to crumbs.....
Avatar n tn This morning I woke up after not sleeping much with a feeling of dread and took it and my pulse was OK but my blood pressure was still 145 over a bottom number I can't remember but it was OK (70s or 80s). Last night was even stranger in that my top number was 145 but the bottom had gone down to something in the 60s. I am going to make an appointment with a cardiologist on Monday but I am worried I am not safe until then.
Avatar m tn After about a week, I visited the ER and had blood tests, another EKG, and a chest XRay. The other thing that came out of this was that the level of whatever released thyroid into my body was high however my actual thyroid level was normal. After approximately 2 weeks of the lightheaded feelings, I visited my family physician who has placed me on Ativan to see if the reduction of anxiety would help the situation. It really hasn't.
Avatar m tn Careful going off atavan...i had blood pressure issues when i stopped it (high).
Avatar f tn I take Toprol for high blood pressure and I checked some drug interaction websites and they advise that Paxil and Toprol can have some kind of interaction with your heart so I'm thinking I have to use a different anxiety/anti-depressant medication or else switch my high blood pressure medication. I have a call into my doctor about the BP meds but I was wondering if anyone has any good experiences or recommendations as to a good anxiety medication.
Avatar m tn than on march 15, 2012 ended up in an emergency rm and i explained to the er doc and he ordered ct scan and prescribed ativan 3 a day and dosage is 0.5 very low!!! went to my pcp and sent me to an ent, neurolgist, socalgist,and a thyroid specialist. The ENT did all his ear exams on me and he said their all in pretty good normal rage.
358304 tn?1409709492 Long story short I took Klonopin .25mg once a day and lexapro once a day 10mg for about 2 months. I weaned off both mess over a 2 week period. The reason, is bc I didn't want to be on a benzo I had to take everyday. My dr put me back on Ativan (lorazepam) .5mg to take when needed. After my last dose of Klonopin and lexapro I felt a little strange an anxiety was kinda creepin up, so about a day or two with no drugs..
Avatar n tn Like another person here I have had a rapid heart rate going as high as 193 bpm upon climbing the stairs. My blood pressure has continued to rise over the past two yrs with no apparent reason. Used to be 110/70 forever. Then was on Bystolice to try and keep my heart from racing and it dropped my blood pressure severely so they took me off of it. It took 4 months for my blood pressure to get back to normal but then it kept going higher. I eat a well balanced diet, am active and 5 5" and 130.
Avatar f tn Theresa, I have been trying to taper off Klonopin since December. I was on Ativan before that and it was making me sick. I had a spike in my blood pressure and I went to the ER last April and they gave me the Rx for Ativan (very low dose). Why I was given that for blood pressure I'll never know, and wish I had never taken it. It literally made me sick, so i tried weaning off with bad results, so my doctor recommended I go on Klonopin since its "easier" to wean off of.
Avatar f tn Smoking can lead to increased blood pressure and propranolol can lower blood pressure. If you stop doing something that can raise your blood pressure, it stands to reason that propranolol minus smoking can lead to an even lower blood pressure. That in itself could be a reason to use caution while taking propranolol during smoking cessation.
Avatar m tn I am to continue on Ativan and I went off all the others about 4 weeks ago. I take my temperature everyday and my blood pressure. I also drink as much water as I can with lemon. I am miserable. Any other suggestions? Thank you for your help.
1198664 tn?1368647812 Could you go to your doctor and have him prescribe clonodine? It is a blood pressure bed that is often prescribed for withdrawals. It also helps with the hot/cold flashes, the sweating, and the sleep issue. I've used it in the past and it does help. Best of luck! Keep up the great fight!
