coreg shortness of breath

Hello derrell pitts, I have to tell you that I am not a medical professional. I am a volunteer. My son was diagnosed with type 1 6-1/2 yrs. ago at the age of 3. My sister wad diagnosed 8 yrs. ago at the age of 24. She also has type 1. To be completely honest with you, I have not heard of this medication. Since I am unfamiliar with this type of medication and effects, I do not want to give an "opinion" based on my findings from the search engines.

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.

Okay so I have been off the Coreg for several days now. Still have shortness of breath (but none while sleeping). Alo I have the wierdest thing going on. I have had a drippy/runny nose all this week? Any idea what that could be about???

Put on Coreg, Plavix and Lispinopril at discharge. After several days with shortness of breath cardiologist took me off Coreg. I have now been off for 6 days and I still have SOB except when sleeping.What else could be going on?? The office visit when he took me off Coreg also had a clean EKG, good BP all arteries pumping properly, good blood oxygen level. The SOB doesn't increase remarkably during low level exercise. That is all I have done so far. Think I am a little affraid.

After 4 days at home I noticed I had shortness of breath almost all the time when I was awake. Dr decided to take me off Coreg to see if that helped. It is now 5 days off the Coreg. The SOB is still with me all the time. Any thoughts. I did not have any shortness of breath before the stents were put in.

The last 3-4 weeks he has had some shortness of breath, sweating spells, and what he called a lil tight in the chest. Went to the Dr., scheduled another arteriogram, for last Monday. Finding was 3 of the 4 bypasses were working well. One of them had 'formed scar tissue' inside the artery itself. The Dr. tried 3 times to 'balloon' it which failed. He chose NOT to stent the bypass due to being a large area, he stated it would take AT least 4 stents.

Went home with coreg, lisipronil and plavix all new. Had shortness of breath for next several days and doc took me off Coreg this past Tuesday. I still have shortness of breath most of the day (none at night while sleeping) and I have noticed an almost constant runny nose.Has anyone heard of this? Any ideas?

ve just been a but sensitive to physical activity as my heart rate will go up to about 100 bpm walking around and having a bit of shortness of breath on and off. The pounding though has got so bad that I can't sit still as it cause my head to bob when completely still and even at times my upper body to sway. If I stand perfectly still my body sways to my heartbeat. I've also had Anxiety issues for about 10 years so I don't know if some of this could be contributed to that.

Should I still be experiencing shortness of breath from heart problem? Know my max heart rate when exercising should be around 165 for my age. Where should it be when I'm running or lifting weights? Or is it safe for me to try and do distance running and weight lifting? I've always been athletic and had a difficult time not going all out when exercising. I am also on an ace inhibitor and a beta blocker. Coreg 7.5mg and Cozaar 25mg.

Hi I was on Tiazac for about 6 ot 7 days and i skipped a few days of it,i have been feeling extremely dizzy and i saw my heart dr yesterday and he told me to stop the tiazac and he is puttting me on Coreg 6.

This drug works with other heart medications such as Coreg to maximize amount of oxygen the heart muscle can assimulate, but it doesn't take the place of stents or bypass surgery. Ranexa won't open up the heart arteries. Are you scheduled for a catherization?

I also had a sudden onset of night sweats. I have no shortness of breath. I had a normal echocardiogram. Lasik brought the swelling down some but I am still swelling. I am type 1 diabetic, hypertensive, and stage 3 kidney disease. Since I have no shortness of breath and a normal echocardiogram is this likely to be some sort of heart disease?

Normal EF is 55 to 75% and is the amount of blood pumped into circulation with each heartbeat. When the EF gets below 30%, that may indicate heart failure as that may not be enough blood/oxygen to meet the system's demand. This condition will cause shortness of breath, fatigue, etc. Many people live a productive life without much limitation in daily living with an EF in the 40's.

s approval, I doubt there would be approval, but if your husband is foolish enough, then watch for any swollen legs, dry cough from lung edema, shortness of breath, faster heart rate, fatigue, and possibly chest pain...and possibly a high risk of cardiac arrest.

is it normal to have episodes of shortness of breath with this? My doc didnt want to up my meds anymore the last time I called the nurse to say I was having an "episode" so I just want to know if that is part of having this now...?

Perhaps you could benefit from lasix, as it is a diurectic and should help with the shortness of breath, provided fluid is the reason for the shortness of breath. Sometimes, if a patient is being given too large a dose of BP meds, it will cause you to feel like you have shortness of breath, when actually the BP meds are zapping your strength, and need to be adjusted. I would be inclined to believe that this is your problem, but you don't say what your BP readings are.

i am 55 years old and have made some minor changes in what i do because of shortness of breath, etc. but i feel that if i cannot live the way that i want to and do the things that i wish to do, then what is the purpose? maybe live a little bit longer and be miserable? up until today when i had my pacer interrogated, i have been able to fight any amount of depression or woe is me out of my life. i think reality has just begun to sink in.

I am a 50 year old women with no previous health issues or family history of heart issues other than for the last 6 months I sporatically would experience shortness of breath. I have been dianosed through the normal testing on Jan 10, 2008 with Non Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, LV ejection fraction of 15-20%, severe hypokinesis to akinesis of the anteroseptal segments with overall severe left ventrile systolic dysfunction. No underlying coronary artery disease.

I know anxiety can cause shortness of breath, but in my later pregnancy I got shortness of breath all the time!

Shortness of breath can happen for lots of reasons. Sometimes it can happen because a person is breathing too fast, called hyperventillation. This can happen when people have panic attacks, and are very worried or anxious. Sometimes people also have tingly fingers when this happens. Sometimes shortness of breath can also be from serious medical problems.

Hi, for the past 9 days I have had constant shortness of breath. It started with a dry cough, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath but now it's pretty much just the shortness of breath. I also am constantly burping and I feel as if I have a lump stuck in my throat. I have had a chest x-ray, ekg, blood tests and a CT angiogram of my chest done. Everything came out normal.

I did. The shortness of breath started already in the second week of treatment, so I don't think it is solely an anemia issue. The chest pains came later, around week six. I was a little worried for a while, but after a few weeks they went away. During these weeks my haemoglobin levels did go down, but not below 11. Try to rest and take it easy, and get checked as others said. It's probably nothing to worry about, and normal for tx.

m currently 9 weeks pregnant but when my hubby runs my back the shortness of breath goes away but it comes back like 20 to 30 minutes later I'm not sure if it's due to me being pregnant or what it's kinda freaking me out I do smoke and I am really wanting to quit

Just wondering if it's typical for patients with cardiomyopathy to exercise too much and not feel the effects until they go to bed. It's hard to know how much to exercise when you feel fine during the event and then have some shortness of breath when sleeping. How can I know when I'm overdoing it if the symptoms don't show up until later?

Shortness of breath is a common symptom that can be caused by a long list of possible underlying problems. The safest course of action would be to see your physician. Your doctor can take a careful history, conduct a physical exam, and then order appropriate tests. Without any additional information, it would not be possible to answer your question in an accurate manner.
