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 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 f tn I have this fear of having my blood pressure taken by health professions. When I take it myself at home it's normal. I want to know how I can overcome my fears.
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?
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 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.
Avatar f tn hi,My DR,switched me from ativan to xanax on this past Thurs,I feel kinda more depressed and nausted,He also gave me Effexor 75 mg to take i took it on Friday and i dont know if it was the mixture of meds but my blood pressure dropped as well as my heart rate dropped,usually when i was on ativan heart ratewas in 90s it is in the 60s now,Im so afraid i havent taking another effexor,,,,i take the xanax because my anxiety is bad but i feel so emotionless has anyone taking the combination and how di
1208858 tn?1265919689 I do hope that ur blood pressure came down as that is very high. Have they put you on blood pressure medication?
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 know after I detoxed off of Lortab I took valium to help for about 8 days each day lowering my dose. Now I did this at a detox center. Also your blood pressure will be high while detoxing for some people. I did take Ativan along time ago but not on a regular basis so I can't really give you advice as far as detoxing off of Ativan if that is the question. hopefully someone else here will have good advice for you.
Avatar n tn I think right now thinking about my blood pressure is making it higher. I guess also whether your blood pressure is high from stress and anxiety or not it's still bad for your heart right? So, I have been thinking I should go on something like clonidine, which could also possibly help with my tourette's and eventual withdrawal from ativan. Thanks for any insight (or hopefully reassurance) you can give.
Avatar m tn Low blood pressure will make you feel light headed ( I have it too). Also, if your blood suger is off. You should probably have a thyroid panel rechecked too. Since you have palpitations (the fluttering in the chest) the cause won't necessarily show up on an EKG. I have the fluttering too and it turned out to be pre atrial contractions or PAC's which are benign and you can sometimes feel your heart beat skip but it is actually not a skip.
1147530 tn?1314821596 s not right, take pulse feel it going fast and strong, Either I change position slightly or sit up slowly, feel a couple of hard blips, then immediately it goes into tachy racing at an average of 120 for 3-5 minutes then subsides. Blood pressure always very high at this point, and after it subsides (160-170/80-85). So I tolerate this as best I can, finally fall asleep again only to have a repeat 20-30 minutes later.
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.
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..
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 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!
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 I HAVE NORMAL READINGS OF BLOOD PRESSURE AT HOME WHEN IN A RELAXED FRAME OF MIND BUT i GOT A HIGH READING AT THE DOC. OFFICE A YEAR AGO AND THE NURSE SCARED ME,saying are you feeling okay your reading is high, I totally panicked.
358304 tn?1409709492 27 male. Anxiety sufferer. For 3 years I have taken ativan on and off as needed for anxiety spells. Some spells last days, weeks, and some even a month or so. But I always wean off the ativan (usually .5mg, sometimes 1mg if severe) This year I was doing fine, then had a really bad anxiety spell, that was just a huge downward spiral... my ativan wasnt even working. I had to take three .5mg tablets one night just to relax. I called my Dr. who unfortunately was out of the country for 2 months!
Avatar f tn s because the meds are dropping my blood pressure but nothing to be alarmed about. I sometimes get extremely dizzy as well (like having to hold onto the walls when I walk) but I figure these are all better than being in the hospital every week. The last time I went to the ER, my heartrate was 181bpm & they gave me Ativan which caused me to hallucinate like crazy & have very strong amnesia. I slept for almost 24 hours as well.
Avatar f tn Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has experienced head pressure and off center dizzyness--not the spins, but just off. I also have tingling in my chest at times, my hands and my feet. I am however, on Paxil and Ativan at night. I have been weaning myself off both meds for the past 2 weeks very slowly. I don't have anxiety or depression, but was put on these by my EP for the arrhythmia symptoms. I did not like beta blockers. Anyway, I am worried I am at risk for a stroke.
Avatar m tn That means no liver cleansing -- it will perhaps wash out your meds before they have a chance to work. That's why I asked. Remeron is an antidepressant, not a sleep remedy, though it can be sedating.
4250195 tn?1351709095 The Thyroid Blood work was a complete Thryoid check and my Family GP said the levels were all normal and good. When I take my blood pressure my heart rate is very much in range. I will be going to a Thyroid Specialist in then next 3 weeks. I was thinking since we don't have a true diagnosis yet that I should wait until he decides if I need to be on them. Bb are a pretty serious drug.
Avatar f tn 05 mg today and no itchythroat or numb hands But about an hour after taken it my heartrate goes up,,and my blood pressure goes down i remember it did this to me before,i have awful headache but woke up at midnight last nigh and i have laid around all day but could not fall alsleep,Im also very dizzy..would going back on xanax make me dizzy,I waas doing so much better i dont know what happened im conserned maybe my body is rejecting benzos is that possible...
881463 tn?1245345649 I also just had a stress test yesterday (April 23/09) and I am awaiting the results, although the technician said nothing seemed abnormal and I hit my target of 180 heart beats per minute on Bruce Protocol for 15 minutes. My blood pressure has been slightly elevated during the hospital visits, with the highest being 138/93 but once I calmed down it was around 123/82 and I have been told my blood pressure overall is okay when I am not freaking out.
