Common Questions and Answers about Carvedilol heart rate

Avatar m tn That said, carvedilol lowers blood pressure, sometimes to an extreme. Were you taking carvedilol when your heart rate went to 150? After being off carvedilol, what is your blood pressure, and did your heart rate change after being off the drug? I'd ask your doctor if you should have a nuclear stress test to look for a blockage in your heart arteries, and/or a heart echo to look at valves, etc.
Avatar m tn s at time, so I have been prescribed Carvedilol to help control the heart rate. My question is, doesn't Carvedilol control hypertension as well...Why should I be taking carvedilol in addition to amliodipine?
Avatar m tn By blocking these receptors, it helps prevent the effects of adrenaline/noradrenaline on the heart thereby maintaining a low heart rate and reducing the energy expended by the heart per beat.
Avatar f tn My uppuer cheekbones swollen (eyes appear sunken), so I then reduced dosage to 5 mg twice a day for 8 days BUT HEART RATE is STILL 39 bpm. Yesterday I again reduced dosage to 3.125 mg twice a day. They want my heart rate to be around 60 bpm as the goal. QUESTION: 1. Is my dosage decrease plan safe enough (slow enough) to prevent danger from too quick of a withdrawl? 2. If this were you , would you do somthing differently? 3. Do you have any other ideas or hypothetical suggestion?
Avatar f tn Anyone notice when they have a fatigue day or afternoon if their heart rate lowers? I've had 2 days with a good one in between and so spent it on the couch, noticing my heart rate was substantially lower.
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm not the doctor but I know exactly what you mean regarding the side effects from Coreg. I was put on it for a little over a year due to an aneurysm in my ascending aorta and the cardio wants my blood pressure kept very low. Like you, I am still lightheaded/off balance on occasion. I walk on a daily basis and even a brisk pace fails to get my heart rate out of the 70s. (Of course with the aneurysm I'm not supposed to get my heart rate very high.
Avatar m tn The side effects from the metoprolol have gotten a little better, though as I type this my heart rate is 52 bpm. Does any one have any comments on the pros and cons of carvedilol versus metoprolol? I'm not sure I want to switch if the side effects will be the same. Does anyone have experience with metoprolol? How long do the side effects last?
1210142 tn?1266077031 These side effects are often related to either low blood pressures or low heart rate but can often be relieved through adjustments in the dose and timing of the medications. I would check and keep note of your blood pressure and heart rate frequently (and not if you are having any of the symptoms) using a home blood pressure monitoring kit that you can get at your local pharmacy. With that information, you can work with your physician to find a regimen that will make you feel better.
Avatar m tn The time spent in running is more important, and carvedilol will prevent a rise in heart rate as part of its normal pharmacological action. Running while on the drug is certainly not a bad idea. You can continue running as before. Make the targets time specific and distance specific rather than limiting it by heart rate.
Avatar m tn About 10 days ago, I started getting feeling like I was in A-Fib but my heart rate was low (ranging from 70-90) with an irregular heart beat. Typically my heart rate is 60 being on a beta blocker. The feeling I had was disturbing as my heart felt so jumpy that I had a hard time going to sleep. It was continuous and well beyond just a mild sensation. By telephone call, I was reassured by my cardiologist that I was not in A-Fib as my heart rate was too low.
Avatar m tn I have this once a year and oddly enough, my next 24 hours is due tomorrow. Perhaps it would be worth taking her heart rate several times during that day also. Carvedilol is a beta blocker and getting the balance of these medications is an absolute nightmare. Most patients believe that the fatigue they feel is due to their heart when many times it's due to having too much beta blocker in your system. I take a different beta blocker, a much stronger one. I started on 5mg and felt aweful.
Avatar m tn t have heart failure secondary to ischemic heart disease (ie blockages in the heart -- the normal stress test argues against this). The same is true for statins -- if your cholesterol is okay and you don't have evidence of coronary disease or other risk factors (diabetes, stroke, etc) then you don't need a statin. Vasodilators are sometimes used on top of ACEI/ARB and beta blocker but aren't always indicated.
Avatar m tn Yesterday I took Norco and I put a lidocaine patch and I woke up with weird heart sensation, like slow heart rate or something. Could it be caused by lidocaine patch? I also take the following medication: Atorvastatin Calcium 80 Mg- 1 tab in the evening Carvedilol 6.25 Mg- 2 tabs morning and 1 in evening Spironolactone 25 Mg- half a tab morning Aspirin 81 mg- 1 in the morning I anyone with heart disease and backache can help with their knowledge, it would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I am being treated by a good cardiologist. My ejection rate is 34% and I hope increasing all the time. It was 20% in February at my initial diagnosis. I'm taking carvedilol, lisinopril, digoxin, medication for my cholesterol and diabetes 2 and also aspirin and cod liver oil . I would like to continue with my exercise program and don't know if it's allowed. It's not hard, just walking.
Avatar n tn Hello! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! I'm not far from your age and also trying to get back to heart health. I just take losartan and it helps but need a bigger push. YOu are eating a low cholesterol diet? I have read so much about walking. At a brisk pace but for long periods. If you do this for 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week, you may see cardiovascular improvement. Weight lifting is good and keeps you burning calories after the activity.
Avatar m tn Nonetheless, to be on the safe side I was given a nuclear stress test - everything turned out just fine, my cardiologist said my heart is perfectly normal. The only problem was the high heart rate - when I went to get on the treadmill my heart rate jumped from 90 bpm to 145 bpm. This is definitely from the anxiety - I was terrified of the test and treadmills make me very uncomfortable. Moreover, at home my heart rate never makes a jump like that, it usually goes from 60 bpm to 80 bpm.
Avatar m tn In December last year my wife was in hospital receiving surgery for a cancer (VIN) and while there her heart rate fell through the floor. An echocardiogram was done and showed an EF of 30-35%. In March this year another echo had an EF of 50% (marked increase) however the third one done last week came in at 40% which shows a decline again. The reason why escapes us. My wife (Sally) is on Dilatrend and Adacand.
907968 tn?1292622204 Since both started getting bad about the same time and just shortly after starting Carvedilol I can easily make the connection. However, they could be unrelated to carvedilol and the timing could be a coincidence. Before I make an appointment to have a chat with my Dr. I'd like to hear from anyone that has had these symptom and that were known to be directly connected to carvedilol. Assuming there are none here, Does anyone have any info to share about these?
Avatar m tn Recently had an echocardiogram and was told me Ejection Fraction was a bit low 50 percent. I have a history of high blood pressure and fast heart rate. Just before the test, I took 150 mg of Metoprolol. I usually take this twice a day. I've heard that this medicine can reduce the heart's pumping action and I'm wondering if this could have had an effect on my test results?
Avatar f tn I appreciate any and all who can help me. Currently taking calcium channel blocker-diltiazem for tachycardia and high blood pressure, HBP not too high, but heart rate is. Does anyone know anything about carvedilol? How safe is it, what are the side effects? Has anyone heard of it being prescribed for tachycardia? HIgh blood pressure?
Avatar m tn Thus, nebivolol is, with regard to hemodynamic and metabolic properties, similar to carvedilol, although the two act slightly differently — carvedilol is a non-cardioselective beta 1, beta 2, and alpha-receptor blocker, whereas nebivolol is highly cardioselective (blocking beta 1 receptors only) and achieving vasodilatory properties by nitric-oxide release, he added." Apparently is was just officially appvoved for use in the United States by the FDA.
Avatar m tn You might ask your Cardiologist to put you on 3.175mg carvedilol twice a day instead of 6.25 twice a day if this is your first experience with it. It is a powerful drug. I started with the 3.175 dose X 2, and it gave me a lot of symptoms such as exhaustion and I do recall a lazy peristalsis (swallowing) issue, but my body got used to it, and he doubled it, then doubled it again.
Avatar f tn After spending 8 days in the hospital getting my heart back into sinus rhythm (3 cardioversions + Tikosyn) I am back to Afib (off the Tikosyn) and have a 'normal' heart rate of 100 now. I presently take Lisinopril, Digoxin, Warfarin, and Carvedilol. Is 'my present condition' truly something that should not cause concern to me. Isn't being in constant AFib causing my chances of a stroke to rise considerably???
