Common Questions and Answers about Causes of bystolic weight gain

bystolic

Avatar m tn I take Bystolic too and I have also noticed a weight gain. I too haven't changed my eating habits. I am beginning to think it's the Bystolic because I usually can lose weight very easily, but I can't lose it now at all no matter what I do. You mentioned your systolic readings, mine do the same thing in the afternoons.
Avatar f tn My doctor recently switched me to Bystolic - and I was given "samples" for a month but no instruction sheet or counter-indications as far as drug interaction. Would there be any problem with the above that I am taking and this drug? Also, I just lost (and want to continue to lose weight) 16 pounds on a diet program and don't want to regain that weight! Does Bystolic cause weight gain?
Avatar m tn I would ask the doctor about a lower dose. What are you on the medication for? If your weight gain was sudden, it should be reported to your doctor. Good luck to you.
214864 tn?1229715239 ve heard a lot of comments about Coreg and weight gain though. I like the adrenaline blocking affects of Coreg. With Coreg, when I get anxious, my heart doesn't get all loopy. I think for that in itself, the stuff is worth it. Sorry, don't know anything about Bystolic but am interested in learning more.
Avatar m tn Bystolic made me gain weight, interferred with my sleep, made my legs swell, and made my blood pressure go up. After gradually withdrawing from it, my blood pressure went down again.
Avatar f tn I need some serious help here as I am having significant problems and the doctors don't seem to know what is wrong with me. I started taking Bystolic 5mg in early September of this year due to palpitations and an abnormally high resting heart rate. They can't find any cause with testing.
Avatar m tn would I be able to do push ups and sit ups with this high of bp? I was hoping to do some weight training but nothing too strenous.
Avatar n tn I agree, BYSTOLIC appears to control and relax the heart rate like no other beta blocker I was ever prescribed. My experience during the past couple of months with BYSTOLIC (5 mg) are excellent heart rate control, no gastro issues, anti anxiety effect and good sleep. The negative effects have been knee pain, stiff and heavy legs, especially when using stairs, low libido (loss of morning erections), and fatigue.
Avatar n tn com/health/wide-pulse-pressure#causes Types of issues that cause it are valve regurgitation (blood is flowing backwards from your valves so heart works harder), aortic stiffening (if aorta is damaged due to say high blood pressure you've had or fatty deposits), severe anemia/iron deficiency, or hyperthyroidism. And having a wide pulse pressure can also increase your chance of having atrial fibrillation. So, with all that being said, I hope your doctor is looking into the cause.
Avatar f tn Late night snacking and poor sleep too can cause weight gain. Polycystic ovary too causes weight gain, hence has to be ruled out by an ultrasound of abdomen. Certain medications like antidepressants cause weight gain. Also the diet should contain more of green leafy vegetables, fruits and protein and less of spaghetti, potato etc.

Avatar f tn It is fairly new here in the US it was appoved by the fda in Dec of 07. I just started taking it today so I am not sure of side effects.
Avatar m tn on the 1st of Febuary 2010, and I have lost a total of 11 pounds since being on them, my weight stayed steady prevous to that time.
Avatar f tn As long as you are eating right and taking care of yourself weight gain is irrelevant. I gained 40 in my pregnancy eating healthy (Also have thyroid issues). My belly was massive, but it was because my son hung out in the front. Everyone thought he would be 8-9 lbs based on my stomach, but he was 6 lbs 15 oz. I was all belly though. I was huge, but wasn't misserable at all in the end, which I attribute to staying active.
Avatar f tn I have met others that did not gain weight at all - just had the high cholesterol etc. Weight gain is a symptom but NOT every symptom happens to everyone. I did not gain for 6 years (of the dang 12 it took to get diagnosed) and then when I did - it was fast and furious... You probably have symptoms - but they are very subtle - low libido, depression, no /impaired sleeping, acne, fatigue, poor healing, hair changes, etc. All symptoms of something else but they oddly will not respond to meds...
Avatar m tn I just heard that Gallbladder Removal causes one to tremendous weight gain? Does anyone know if that is true? If it is true, I may cancel the surgery and deal with the pain and risks of cancer. My days of being fit would be destroyed? or is there a way of continuing to lose weight after Gallbladder removal? Has anyone experienced tremendous weight gains after have their Gallbladder removed?
Avatar n tn A loss of taste side effect from Tekturna is quite common, about a third of users. Maybe your Doctor could try a different medication to see if there are any changes. You need to enjoy your food, and there are plenty of ways/medications to help control blood pressure. You shouldn't need to make such a big sacrifice as not enjoying your meals.
Avatar m tn The weight will come off when you discontinue the medication - or switch to a medication that has less of a chance of causing weight gain (ie. Prozac). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood. It tends to have a sedating effect that can interfere with your metabolism and make you feel more hungry (especially for sugar and carbs).
