coreg low blood pressure

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?

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 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 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.

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 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.

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?

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).

The reduction in blood pressure is benefical and should not be any concern. My doctor wants blood pressure as low as possible without any side effects such feeling faint, dizzy, etc. An erradic heart rate at rest can be a problem (coreg should correct that problem). Many doctors discontinue prescribing plavix as there is a higher risk of excessive bleeding. Cardiac cachexia is unintentional severe weight loss caused by heart disease.

My EF was in the 30's, and was slowly advanced to 25 mg Coreg twice a day, and 10 mg of Altace. My EF increased, but like you I had extreme fatigue issues, and I had several fainting episodes at night because of low blood pressure. The Coreg was reduced to 6.25 X 2 and the Altace reduced to 5mg, and I'm getting along fine.

My cardio recently added 2 new blood pressure meds to my other 2, verapamil and hctz(diuretic) he added lisinopril and coreg, i've noticed at night when i take my bp, my pulse runs in the 40-50's while resting,not resting its about 65, after having a month straight of very high pulse rates of 160+ i'm a little concerned about it being low, i have previously had problems with my potassium and that causing irregular HB...how low is to low?

The EF is a new finding as of Jan. 2011. My blood pressure drops too low with the coreg 3.125 mg and lisinopril at 2.5 mg taken at the same time along with the aldactone. No one ever questioned why i had afib at 28.

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 have passed all the FAA physical requirements however they will not give me a new FAA physical citing a low EF of 32%. I have had a T Wave Alternans and passed. Any suggestions to improve LVEF. I am taking 25 mg Coreg twice a day.

If repeated recordings of blood pressure indicate low readings, then the medication dosage may need to be adjusted. As this can result in postural hypotension, a condition in which the peripheral arteries dilate, leading to pooling of blood in the peripheries. This in effect causes decreased circulation of blood resulting in dizziness/lightheadedness. This is more pronounced if the person stands up from a lying down position.

If you feel his blood pressure is dropping too low you can talk to his doctor about adjusting the doses, but he should NEVER stop taking his meds without consuting with his doctor first.

My electrophysiolgist/cardiologist prescribed Coreg and Lisinopril for my condition. I have episodes of ventricular tachycardia, apparently brought on by a focal wall abnormality in my left ventricle. I also have atrial fibrillation. I have an ICD as well. When I mention to other doctors that I take these medications, they insist I must have high blood pressure. I don't have high blood pressure and never have.

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 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.

On the other hand, I decided to try the 10mg Coreg CR and it is not working. My blood pressure has gone from an average of 118/75 to an average of 130/80. Admittedly, that's still not bad, but it is kind of odd that it increased. Plus the coreg cr is 120 dollars for one month, I can't imagine how much the 20 mg costs. So it looks like I'll end up back on the metoprolol. Hopefully the tiredness will go away.

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?

Having experienced low bp myself, it sounds to me like low blood pressure is probably a big part of the problem, but If you are feeling depressed, there is nothing wrong with seeking emotional support. Do not be depressed. Depression gets in the way of effective thinking and effective action. It has no place in your life right now.

Test revealed he was at a 45% capacity. Heart not pumping enough blood out. No blockages, but now he is at 35%. He just started COREG. What does this say for the future and his heart. He was told not to exercise at this point. They believe the blood pools in the heart then throws the clots out. Is he in heart failure.

25 once aday 5 months ago ihad echo done and stress test stress test ok echo came back 40 ef cardioligest recomeded muga ins said 4months from echo i could have muga muga came back 31 doc said i need icd i asked what about coreg doc said didnt think would help i said how about another echo and i will increase coreg back to25mg 2xaday i feal fine idid increase coreg do ya think it will rase ef

High blood pressure may be an underlying cause for the heart problems. Globally hypokinetic left ventrical indicates there is heart cell damage that impairs heart contractions resulting in diastolic (pumping phase) dysfunction. Left ventricle functionality is measured by the percent of blood pumped into circulation with each heartbeat and normal is 55 to 75% ejection fraction (EF). The medical condition you describe indicates the left ventricle may be enlarged.

Symptoms of overdose are due to excessive pharmacodynamic actions on β1 and also β2-receptors. These include bradycardia, severe hypotension (LOW BLOOD PRESSURE), etc. I have not found not found a side effect of hbp with a beta blocker.. Abstract For some insight: Beta-blockers have long being used as first-line therapy for hypertension as their use had resulted in a reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in controlled clinical trials.
