coreg blood pressure medicine

I take Coreg twice a day, rather than Coreg CR one a day with the extended release. My blood pressure and heart rate is very good.

s in Methodist Hospital in Memphis, TN, but nothing is working. They have her on Coreg (heart medicine and Minitodil for blood pressure). Please help me if you can, we need to find someone who specializes in Syncope and in very low blood pressure. Sometimes upon standing the nurses can't even get a reading on her blood pressure because it drops so low.

I HAVE READ - Coreg lowers blood pressure and increases the output of the heart - DOES THIS MEAD THAT IT INCREASES THE EJECTION FRACTION OF THE HEART? AND IF THIS IS TRUE - IF A PERSON WAS TO STOP TAKING COREG WOULD THEIR EF RATE DECREASE ? ? ?

I generally have normal to low blood pressure and am worried that these drugs will lower my blood pressure even more causing me to feel lightheaded (which I already do sometimes) and perhaps even faint. I have a 6-yr-old daughter to take care of and can't afford to be incapacitated by dizziness. Is there an alternative to these drugs?

Other than lowering your pulse and blood pressure, if you took Coreg but did not need it, could it cause other damage? What symptoms would you have? I am on Coreg as a trial to see if it fixes my chronic shortness of breath. I just wondered if it was safe to do so or if it could cause permanent damage if in fact I did not need it.

I've read not long ago about there being some lawsuits over Multaq and liver damage. Does anyone know if this drug truly is bad? I've read some of the reports saying to stay away from it. I'm only asking because my mother has Tachycardia, and the Coreg she is taking doesn't seem to be helping her fast heart beat much, lately anyways. The doctor said the next medicine he would try is Multaq (Dronedarone). But after reading about the lawsuit stuff it scares you off.

The recommendation is 1 capsule each morning wih breakfast that will help lower blood pressure all day and all night.

Is it possible for ace inhibitors to raise your blood pressure? I just started to take ramipril at night and now my bood pressure is elevated in the morning. I used to take it in the morning and my bp was higher in the evening.

I am curious as to your opinion regarding the use of coreg for blood pressure control for a juvenile diabetic, with renal problems (37%) function. The coreg causes problems controlling the blood sugar in the patient, and it causes bouts of vomiting and loss of consciousness it also causes very low blood pressures, fatigue and shortness of breath.

after a heavy session aerobics and gym my blood pressure was 183/99 pulse 92. Can this damage my heart? I'm 85, one stent 2010, I can do 5kms bike and gym and be sick - nausea, anxiety belly ache, body malaise, pre syncope, drop- down fatigue in the same day and cannot identify the cause. (these events can be in reverse order). Medicines: Rhythmol 150, Coreg 6.5, aspirin, levothyroxine .75, Crestor 10 alternate days. But how about that 183/99? (in 15 mins it was down to 122/71 p77.

My husband is suffering with uncontrolled high blood pressure. He is 54 years old and in excellent physcial condition. He recently went to the hospital because he was having chest pains and pain in his left arm. EKG show satisfactory and took a stress test which showed no ischemia. He was released from the hospital and despite the emergency room test his BP continues to be erratic and uncontrolled with numbers like 161/95 after taking 4 pills.

I was previously on 12.5 mg of Coreg 2X a day for high blood pressure. I am also taking 10mg of Lexapro a day for anxiety. This caused me to become very fatigued and my doctor attributed it to the Coreg so he switched me to 10mg Norvasc every day (after weaning off the Coreg for 3 days). This was 2 weeks ago and I'm still feeling the same fatigue. How long does Coreg stay in your system after you stop taking it?

now that my heart has healed, should I continue to remain taking the Coreg that I have taken for 13 years? Would it be better to stop now? I do continue to have high blood pressure and take Diovan and a diuretic, Spironolactone, in addtion to the Coreg. Again, my main question is...Should I continue with Coreg?

I was told before the procedure that I would be taken off all my medications but my blood pressure during the surgery was 190/90 and the doctor told me I would have to take Coreg CR 80 for the rest of my life. I am very discouraged. My blood pressure now is 100/70 on Coreg.. Did anyone have same experience?

ve read a lot of benefits of Taurine and heart failure and would like to try it but it lowers blood pressure which my prescription Verapamil also does (I take Verapamil to relax my heart so it can fill as it is stiff and thick due to HCM) so I don't want to drop my bp too low and pass out. I will be seeing a Cardiologist D.O. at the end of December to ask but in the mean time I was curious if anyone has had success. If so, how many milligrams of each do you take daily?

I have been on Coreg for going on 5 years and my blood pressure and heart rate is very good...no side effects although I don't have high tolerance for stamina when lifting weights...aerobics, I can do 30 minutes (treadmill) at 4 mph (7.4 METs) without a problem, and it seems the medication prevents the heart rate from going very high with aerobics and muscle fatigue sets in before any substantial rise of the heart rate.

I just read up on Coreg - - beta blocker, and on low blood pressure. Beta blockers can cause heart damage which then can cause low pulse - hense low blood pressure. He has 5 stents and is on crestor & plavix. He's also taking a multi vitamin & Omega 3 supplement. Can he stop taking the Coreg? Is there an alternative? He's strong and very active - physicallty & sexually. He's also taking Co Enzyme Q-10.

I'm a 26 year-old male. A week ago I had an episode of high blood pressure (180/110) and palpitations. I called my doctor the next day and he prescribed me Lotrel (5/20mg). My BP came down to ~120/90. I stopped taking the Lotrel after the first day, BP shot up to 170/122, went to emergency. Saw my doctor yesterday, he checked blood and urine work (all clean), did EKG and said I have a fast heart rate (~90-95bpm) and hypertension. He prescribed me Coreg CR 80mg. Is the Coreg CR necessary?

I take coreg with lisinopril to lower heart rate and lower blood pressure. Coreg can lower the HR, and as you know, I very slow heart rate can cause clots, and with MVR an individual is more vulnerable. My docotor wants my BP as low as possible without side effects such as passing out!. And I believe the lowest possible BP is generally the goal as you stated. But coreg also effects the heart rate, so that enters the equation for optimal dosage.

Are you switching meds due to low blood pressure? Be careful making this switch. Coreg blocks more receptors. Tenormin does not stay at constant levels throughout the day. Tenormin peaks and then drops. After being on our Tenormin, you may feel terrific and full of energy, but after 2 weeks the opposite can happen. My mom went into heart failure and her left ventricle starting giving out after switching from Toprol XL to Tenormin (actually Atentol, Tenormin's generic).

Coreg helps regulate a normal heartbeat and lower blood pressure. A reduction to 3.125 twice a day is lowest therapeutic value, and the medication should not be discontinued without doctor's advice. If you had a minor heart attack, you may need medication. I don't know of any weight gain associated with coreg, the reduction of coreg may be for other reasons other than weight gain.

My doctor started me on it due to rapid heart beat (tachycardia) and high blood pressure. Boy it sucked the energy right out of me! I hated it. I lost a lot of weight and abruptly stopped it (I thought I didn't need it anymore), which is a NO NO! But I didn't know though....2 months later I had an mi and stroke. So, I can tell you that the likelihood that Coreg is energy draining and Lisinopril is probably not, is high. This is just from my experience.

s pumping, lowers blood pressure) but as an alpha-blocker (also lowers blood pressure). Coreg was exactly what my body needed. I guess my problems were more with the α1-adrenergic receptors and not the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors. It all depends on your body chemistry.

Mom is 87 years old and has high blood pressure (HBP) for many years, she is taking a few different medications to control her blood pressure. Her blood pressure has not really gotten better, but stable. But now, we noticed her bp is getting over 200 especially in the late afternoon or at night. Why? I am really worried. Doctor told her to take one additional Bystolic when the BP is too high. But this is not right.

what will happen if I quit taking my blood pressure medication? (Toprol 100 mg) I've been on it for 3 years.

i now walk a mile a day, stayed the same weight for 2 1/2 years, now am starting to loose - took me 3 months but am losing 2lbs a month, take coreg, bumex, all the heart meds. blood pressure is usually 106/68, so it's low. diabetic and have started menopause. my question is this: i had the nuclear stress test done on the treadmill this week. i made 85%, was winded but not out of breath, manage to run/walk like they wanted. i have iscemia from the heart attack.

I have extremely dry skin and am on a couple of blood pressure lowering drugs. I think this is perhaps more part of the aging process. I could be wrong though. As I have aged I have noticed my skin seems to be thinner as I cut so easily. And let's not start me up on the bruising.
