Avatar f tn Another positive thing to note, my heart rate has decreased dramatically, I know that I may be jumping too fast to conclusions but yesterday and today my heart rate at rest was 62! I went up the stairs and it only went to 83!!! Sleeping last night on my left side which before I couldn't do at all, I couldn't feel my heart beat, so I sure hope that this will help the heart rate.
Avatar n tn Oh wow sorry this was back in 2011...
Avatar m tn I went to ER AND THE PRESCIBED ME SOME ATIVAN, tHE HEART RATE IS STILL HIGH, Have an appointment today. I am currently on 10 day hydrocodone withdrawl. Any insight out there. would love some input.
Avatar f tn I can feel EVERY BEAT of my heart... One minute, BP is 88/46 with a heart rate of 127 and 10 min later its 148/90 with HR of 64!! The heart rate is mostly on the extremely rapid size... Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you discovered anything that helps it? I find it very difficult to even breathe when my HR is swinging from one extreme to the next .. not to mention the anxiety that it causes!
Avatar f tn Clonidine stimulates central alpha-adrenergic receptors which result in a decrese in your sympathetic nervous system. This will help to keep your heart rate down, anxiety reduced and will almost eliminate the cold sweats. I have used it befor and am currently taking it as we speak. I take 0.1mg every eight hours. For acute W/D you can take 0.2mg every eight hours. but not for more that 10 days. you should taper off the last 2 days. i know you have the patch but it is the same drug.
Avatar f tn I take 40 mg. of Lisinopril twice per day; Diovan 320mg - twice per day and Clonidine HCL 0.2 mg at bedtime. My Nephrologist wants me to take the Clonidine in the mornings also, but I cannot function - I am too dizzy and weak. I have had a stent placed in the artery leading to my left kidney and my pressure has gotten higher.
Avatar n tn Lower blood pressure reduces the workload of the heart and provides time for the heart to completely recover from the operation. If you experience dizziness, fainting, etc., your doctor may want to adjust the medication, but if you can tolerate your current blood presssure the better it is for your heart.
656243 tn?1231288052 It is Clonidine. I think they prescribed it to me because I get extreme high heart rate in certain situations like I am going to pass out. Seems to be working as I also have high blood pressure. I will keep you all posted. C.
3225128 tn?1347133998 Clonidine reduces your heart rate and blood pressure. That could be making you feel tired. Feeling low energy after acute withdrawal of opiates is also pretty normal. Some people feel anxious when they stop clonodine, as the heart rate increases and blood pressure goes back up. Call your prescribing doctor and ask if it would be okay to remove it, and if he says no, I'm sure they will explain why.
Avatar f tn During the 24 hour testing my highest bp was 167/126, my lowest was 126/75, my highest heart rate was 120 and the lowest 87. I told him that my heart rate upon slight exercise would go to 160 within a few minutes of warm up which is what I want to manage better so I can do more stuff. He said this medication should do that, I sure hope so! He is faxing this information to my family doctor tomorrow and he said by Monday my Dr.
Avatar f tn Clonodine is actually a blood pressure med that helps during withdrawals because of the elevated heart rate associated with withdrawals. It does seem to help other symptoms also such as hot/cold flashes, insomnia, creepy crawlies, and just overall makes you feel a bit better. Do be careful because since it is a blood pressure medication it can potentially cause some problems. More than likely you will be fine taking them but if you notice you feel faint or dizzy get to the doctor.
Avatar f tn Watch your coffee or any caffeine intake as it will get your heart rate back up.. For me, I would drink water water and did I say water or Gatorade..
Avatar n tn i am prescribed atenolol and clonidine and i finally decided to take more dosages than prescribed. i took 100mg of atenolol and 0.2 of clonidine at once. my heart rate is 44 bpm and my blood pressure is 100/69. this is the lowest that i can remember these readings ever being. i only feel very lethargic and sleepy and like i am about to lose consciousness,but honestly,i do not mind that..it is much better than being tachycardic.
439522 tn?1214951189 1mg), and when did you start and stop taking it through your withdrawls? Also, will help the anxiety? I would think if my blood pressure goes down and heart rate, it would have a calming effect. I take 10mg a day of Lexapro for anxiety (have for a few years). Have had no anxiety when on Lexapro...except for now as I go through lortab withdrawals...and the anxiety is as bad as before when I had to start the Lexapro.
Avatar n tn What can cause a moderately enlarged heart, but normal ejection fraction. I also have almost normal Pulmonary Artery Pressure at 20.48. I did have large PE's six years ago, but they have since cleared out. I have high blood pressure spells when standing, normal BP when sitting. I get fast heartbeat sometimes also. I can get a heart rate of 130 BPM just from grating cheese. I am on BP meds to control the high BP when standing.
974371 tn?1424653129 Also reduced my Prozac to 10 mg once a day. So far, BP and heart rate have been ok, though I am normally on the low side. Tried skipping the Prozac yesterday but can't say I notice a difference with these medications. I am still waking up during the night with stomach grumbling which progresses to stomach ache then nausea. I get up and take an Omeprazole then take 1/2 Alprazolam about 1-2 hours later. Now my morning routine.
214529 tn?1333303619 First it was ocassionally, now they are coming in a series and when they come one right after the other they feel more like flutters like it cant catch up and I feel nasueaous (not like the normal thud), but I have not felt faint at this point and it has shown my heartbeat to be irregular on blood pressure monitor but blood pressure and heart rate were normal. Once again told they were benign and my heart is fine. Put me on Atenolol 25 mg a day...
Avatar m tn Since February of this year I've been getting these random episodes of tachycardia where my heart rate goes up to 180-190's, and this will end up lasting for either several hours or even days. My skin gets really flushed and my hands feel shaky during these. I've been seeing a cardiologist since May of this year, and he's done mri/stress-echo/24hr urine/blood tests/ekg's etc. He hasn't figured out what it is yet and told me most of my tests come back normal.
Avatar f tn i think the anxiety is the worse. like i can barely function my heart is racing and i cant seem to keep still and my mind just keeps wanderign and htinking about horrible things. what can i do about this anxiety? should i get some anxiety medsa? i dont want to get addicted to something else but this is just horrible its making me want to take more pills. if i get the anxiety meds will they even help?
374251 tn?1246235657 t want to go back to same clinic and I no longer had much money for it anyway. I did research and ordered Clonidine, Atarax, and Catapres from an online pharmacy which would ship without Rx. Results weren't very positive. Clonidine didn't do much for me, Atarax helped me sleep a bit and Catapres didn't do a while lot either. I don't remember the dose I took of Clonidine but they were .15mg pills, so I prob took one twice a day.
Avatar n tn So they gave him 4 mg an hour again after an episode of great frustration for him and a heart rate of 201 beats a min. But they reduced it to 2mg then 1 then a 1/2 then nothing in the space of 12 hours and a few hours later he was sedated again after a repeat episode. I'm not an expert by any means but this seemed a really quick withdrawal to me? I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this and how long on average it takes to withdraw from clonidine?
Avatar f tn The pills act slightly quicker but need to be swollowed and kept down. Many in w/d can not keep anything down. I am using the pills and can tell when that 8 hour mark comes around, wouldent mind the constant delivery of a patch!.
Avatar f tn When doing stairs it does raise to 110 which still makes me very tired and sometimes I experience chest pains but prior to all these meds doing stairs would raise my BP and heart rate to 140 and I would feel extremelly sick, now my BP does raise but still within normal ranges. My anemia is back, my ferritin is at 6, back on 300mg 3X daily of iron pills, which make havok to my stomach.
Avatar f tn well, atenolol is a blood pressure medication. So is clonidine. They both also help regulate the heart rate, so yes it will work. Be careful though, when detoxing off of opiates our blood pressure doesnt skyrocket like it would if we were coming off of alcohol. Check your blood pressure once a day if you can. Atenolol lasts longer than the clonidine and thats why you only take it twice a day compared to every 6 hours. I wouldn't even fill the tramadol Rx.
