Bystolic for tachycardia
Common Questions and Answers about Bystolic for tachycardia
bystolic
I take 20 mg in the morning with 125 mg of magnesium taurate then 5mg of Norvasc for HTN then take 10 mg of by Bystolic at night with 125 mg of magnesium taurate in between I take .5 Xanax in the morning and at night I have not had one PVC in the last three years I feel like a different human being!
The tachycardia is bad enough that I take bystolic 1.25 mg daily. If I didnt I would have days were just sitting up in bed could make my heart beat faster. Going for a walk could make my heart race really fast. So Im glad bystolic works. Today however I have been lifing some moderately heavys stuff and I get palpitations so Im now considering a little more Bystolic.
I would like to hear from others with IST, to hear how they cope, and if they also get anxiety when the pulse is racing.
The dr prescribed me Bystolic for my blood pressure and the tachycardia (fast heartrate around 133 after eating) that I was getting. What Bystolic does is it helps prevent irregular heartbeats by making your heart beat more slowly and with less force which reduces your bloodpressure. Nowadays my blood pressure is under control and I do not get the tachycardia anymore. Since taking Bytolic I was more aware of my "skipping heartbeat" than before.
ve been on metoprolol before, and had some awful side effects with that one, but the bystolic seems to tame those down quite a bit for me. I've only had two instances in which I could tell I was experiencing some slight side effects (dizziness, slight shortness of breath, pressure).
I've also been told by my GP that, if I find myself with a rapid heart rate or back in A-fib, I can take another 2.5mg dose right then, since it's such a small dosage.
t really have an answer for you except that my doctor haas placed me on bystolic for my tachycardia. My resting is not scary high but it is elevated and my exercise induced is extremely high and once it gets over 175 it takes about 90 minutes to drop to 100. Anyway I guess my point is definately ask your doctor what they think, and like Susie said I think it depends where the tachycardia is occuring. Anyway good luck to you.
I commented in an earlier post. I've been on BYSTOLIC (5 mg)for about 3 months. The 1'st side effect which I became aware of was sharp pain in my knees, and achy legs when using the stairs. These pains got better after about a month. Other side effects include weight gain, high cholesterol (on my last blood test TOTAL chol went from about 200 to 266),sexual side-effects (low libido),fatigue and worst of all my last blood pressure reading was high (150/100).
For the last few months I have been having pretty frequent (about once a week) episodes of tachycardia for just a very short time...like a few seconds, just enough to scare me. So I gave myself a speech and I'm scheduled to see my EP anyway in a couple of months so I figured I would mention this to him when I see him, otherwise, I was going to try to stop worrying about it. Well, last night while eating dinner I got choked by a piece of rice.
Hello.
It's a good question. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (and "appropriate" sinus tachycardia for that matter) is a supraventricular tachycardia. Supraventricular tachycardia is an expression used for all tachycardias that originate above the ventricles (there are a lot of them and most of them are benign).
Similar to the reactions a person with high blood pressure, would have to say a decongestant. That question was never answered. However, he handed me bystolic 5mg samples, and said to take them for the PAT. If anyone could answer my question about the medication reactions I would appreciate it. I also would like to know if it's wise for me to be taking the bystolic. I do not have, nor have I ever had blood pressure problems.
I have been taking bystolic for several years and for me it seems to work much better than atenolol or lopressor, without all the side effects. I have had to up my dosage a couple of times and right at first my stomach will feel a little off and I may get a very slight headache but it goes away quickly.
My doctor suggested bystolic. It has worked very well for the last year, I have been very pleased with it. In fact, I didn't switch my insurance this year because the alternative company did not want to authorize the use of the bystolic (it's a lot more expensive). I have had no side effects to speak of, much less than the atenolol. I would certainly give it a shot.
Quitting klonopin is a very stressful thing to do, so if you start again, and have to quit again, you have to go through the stress that puts on the body again. Also, long-term use of benzos is thought by many researchers to permanently affect adversely the brain's ability to adapt to stress, so if that's true, that's another strike against going back on a drug that is addictive and very hard to stop taking.
As soon as the sotolol was out of my system despite the 50 mg of atenolol my heart was off to the races again, not a fib but tachycardia, pacs, pvcs. It was like it had just quit working for me. Has anyone had a similar experience or heard of meds just not working anymore? Mostly just curious....doc put me on bystolic and that works much better for me now.
The only exception to this occurs when I faint and then begin dry heaving- during these episodes, I out for a minute or two. I have severe migraines since age 17, now 30. Fainting makes the headache a lot worse.
-I have seen several cardiologists about this problem. I had a loop recorder implanted in 2010 by Dr. Grubb. The only abnormality is tachycardia which occurs when I faint.
There are quite a few reasons for syncope. You'd have to catch it on an EKG recorder to know the root cause.

My Cardiologist prescribed Bystolic for the tachycardia, but I have not taken it yet, as I have read it can be contradicted in patients with Hyperthyroidism.
Also, I have had numerous med reactions (allergic to almost every antibiotic I have been ) I seem to be easily susceptible to numerous infections, including Sinus and UTIs. I also have cystitis and a gluten allergy.
Immune disorders seem to run in the family. My Grandmother had Lupus and many other health problems.
Hello all a very frustrating journey this past year has been, I apologize for the long post but the journey has been long. I'm a 23 year old female. Back in December I felt very short of breath & dizzy, I went to the emergency room where my heart rate was 168, they treated me & said I suffered from SVT.
I am on four medications: Bystolic (40 mg / day), Hytrin (12 mg / day), Benicar (40 mg /day), and Clonidine (2 / day).
I started only on Inderal 20 years ago to control mild hypertension and paroxysmal tachycardia. History of possible Lyme Disease otherwise nothing remarkable.
A year ago I started having wildly fluctuation hypertension (normally 120/70 went to 240/115 in seconds - repeatedly with no pattern, no identifiable triggers).
