His blood pressure is well controlled now that he is on the pill, but there have been 3 times when his blood pressure drops way too low and he feels like fainting. Is that normal?How long does it usually take to get used to the drug?

when men get older they make less testosterone and in our industrial world men loose it quicker progesterone is the building blocks for testosterone so if he does not have the building material how would he build the finished item. its safe and very good for yourself aswell, it has so many benefits for women its mad they dont prescribe it from doctors. well its not mad its economics they cant make any money from it as its not a drug. take a look at this website http://www.progesterone.co.

The side effects from the metoprolol have gotten a little better, though as I type this my heart rate is 52 bpm. Does any one have any comments on the pros and cons of carvedilol versus metoprolol? I'm not sure I want to switch if the side effects will be the same. Does anyone have experience with metoprolol? How long do the side effects last?

I just got a refill of my Carvedilol (3.125mg) I take two pills in the morning and two in the evening and it has been this way since August '09. I read the side effects just out of curiosity and I had nothing better to do and what I found was, "Check with your Dr. as soon as possible If you experience cold or numb legs or feet or unusual leg pain". And it goes on to say "Contact your Dr. immediately if you experience....(lists what seems like 10,000 things)...

A pacemaker really is a safety net as when the heart does not beat when it should, the pacemaker will work. I know many people young and old with a pacemaker and they get along just fine. There is no difference in activity level before and after pacemaker. Try not to worry. Just be aware of symptoms that require doctors attention.

1) You are not at maximum level of Carvedilol (50mg/day) Does your dr. think that you can go up? The only limit are your blood pressure and heart rate. 2) Have your heart been evaluated for a de-sincrony? Is your QRS interval longer than 120ms? In those cases a Bi-Ventricular Defibrillator can improve it. But I do not know the limitations to drive with it in your country.

Or its not A-Fib when my heart feels real jumpy but it is not a good state to be in either. My cardiologist seems very good but how does one really know as I may have symptoms of something that he hasn't experienced?

all this time i have exercised hard with no problem, dieted, and taken my carvedilol. Like life, it ain't fair. How about an ACE as well as the betablocker? The cardio was the same for the two tesst. First one was a bit grim. This time. Dec 1, he said congrats, you're fine. But now I have the results it's too late to get to him about the DD. He saw it, I know. Should I stop worrying?

I have had 2 heart attacks (age 46 and 48) from clots in a tiny artery, branch of a branch of LAD and ever since have issues breathing when it's humid outside. I am working for 1 month in a carpenter shop with no A/C, only fans and it has been as high as 99. I think I've gotten heat exhaustion twice now, missed 2 days of work. This is not my career, only a 1 month learning experience and I'm considering going to half days, early mornings only.

They jst switched her to some of these meds a week ago.How long does it take them to work.Should she be scheduled for another echo cardigram?How long can a person live with the Ejection fraction being this low?What can increase her Ejection fraction?

Is anyone with a low Injection fraction on a drug regime that does not include Coreg or Carvedilol. I need some advice. . .if I don't improve I'm going to quit this thing. . .I think. I know that your response may be: See your cardiologist . . .well for me it ain't that simple. I am a DAV an they have me setup to see him in February.; . .I guess they are over worked, but I'm not willing to wait that long. Thank you in advance for your advice. . .

- How sever is the problem, can it lead to sudden cardiac arrest? - Can his EF be improved through medicines or he needs a surgery? - What precautions should we take to reduce the risk and the improve the EF? - What dietery plan should we follow? - Does low EF mean theres danger to his life? - Can he work normally, if his EF is improved in future? - What is more dangerous low EF or valve leakage? - Any other recommendations you would suggest in general.

Plus when I go walking I can't get my heart rate above 95 bpm. Does any one have any comments on the pros and cons of carvedilol versus metoprolol? I'm not sure I want to switch if the side effects will be the same. How long should I give the metoprolol? How long do the side effects last? Is it really bad to have a heart rate consistently in the lower 50s?

Your low ejection fraction does increase your surgical risk, even in the absence of any significant blockages on your recent angiogram. I do think that speaking with a surgeon still would be useful in terms of understanding your level of risk better.

Reading the posts here on this forum my guess is the Carvedilol (coreg), It's not from exorcising or diet although my diet does include much more fruits and (farmed) salmon. Carvedilol has the strongest case for the increase but if it is only from that then Coreg truly is the miracle drug it's said to be! Oh, and your "husband"? bummer, you were the only one to laugh at my chocolate jokes. oops, or was it Ireneo?

I've taken atenolol, verapamil, Flecainide, metoprolol, and now carvedilol, none of which have worked. To me, the PVCs seem dangerous, as my quality of life has diminished quite a bit. The doctor has not explained **** to me. Does anyone know if having 37,000 PVCs a day is high enough to be an indicator of heart disease?

My question is 1- if my heart is completely normal after taking the lowest dosage in such a short time why are my meds being raised and 2- I have heard from many different sources that Coreg can over time make your heart lazy and actually cause a weakend heart because it does the work for the heart. I fully admit that I am not a Dr. and dont completely understand, which is why I want answers.

He does not want one. He feels great. His work benefits are up and he drives for a city employer. Geez, I can't seem to get this all to make sense. If his heart rhythms are controlled does the defibrillator help ? It doesn't do anything for his EF? I guess I'm just looking to find out what his options are. I sure wish I would have found this site months ago. Does the defib help him live longer ? Can he drive in a municipality with one ? Can he ride his motorcycle with one ?

The OP was/is being treated for prior HA, high blood pressure, and the appropriate medication is an ACE inhibitor and beta blocker (coreg) for high blood pressure and prior heart attack, and it is fitting to conclude that high blood pressure is to at least to some degree the underlying cause. Also, taking a beta blocker does not preclude working out with heavy weighs or any other activity and no need to be off a beta blocker. I've been on the meds for heart failure (silent heart attack).

one of my uncle is telling that he has a heart attack and now his Echo test is not increasing from 30-40 what does that mean?is it a bad systoms and how to improve.

Well, first of all weight loss would be a great help to all of the issues he has as well as a low salt diet. There is also a drug called carvedilol (Coreg) that actually restructures the heart, it doesnt work for everyone but in my case a many others our hearts have returned to normal after having taken the meds for awhile. So have him talk to the Dr.s about that and see what they say. He should also be eligable for cardio rehab, which would be a good place to start for the exercise he needs.

My interraction on this forum reveled that the dilation of LV is serious issue and until it starts remodelling by drugs longivity of patient with above conditions can be in doubt. Does someone has experience with these conditions or related information which can be shared on this forum. Can LV remodel itself with beta blockers and ACE-I? I have seen remarks/suggestions from reputed cardilogists and patients who share their experiences and all this is very useful for patients like me.

However, the edema and pitting is likley due to something entirely different. Can you ask the nurse to mention your concerns to the doctor. How does he/she explain the pitting? I'm still wondering if you are on the best medicine regime??? That's something to discuss with the doctor when you followup with the office. If you cannot get answers and continue to be concerned, you could try visiting an Urgent Care to see what they think.

I couldn't understand how an antihistamine could help with central related vertigo. Maybe it will keep me from sneezing...do you think.

case studies, theories, internet research is no match for a Registered Nurse that works in CCC as RitaRN does on a daily basis in my opinion.....

It seems that many members are often having "bad" drug screens so again, here is some information on why your Test may be wrong. Medications & Substances Causing False Positives According to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most widely administered urine test.

5, in March. Am on Cordarone200, Losartan50, Clopidogrel75, Digoxin0.25, Carvedilol3.125X2, Alprazolam0.25, L-carnitine500X2. Have lost some interest in sex, and find it difficult to maintain an erection for more than 2mins! Since I am going to be dead within 5yrs, my wife decided to try for a child before it is too late! Are any of the above drugs interfering? I never had problems before! Is it safe to use Viagra for a month? Is it worth the risk? Is Spironolactone better than Amiloride?

I asked about Torodol as I love that drug as I have no side effects and it works well. (was given this when I had a Brachial Plexus Injury for 5 days only) He told me that he rarely uses this med and if I cannot take other pain meds, I would have to resort to Advil which I said I would. When I was in the ER room with A-fib and pain some months ago, they wanted to give me Morphine. I said NO! Give me a shot of Torodol. They would not give me this.

Good Luck What is below is a reply I put in to a discussion on side effects to ED drugs, so I’m now putting So if he drugs don’t work or work well but with bad side effects, then go the herbal way, and it works, but you need to go the whole way with them and give them a good try, just like drugs its a mix and match affair to find the right mix.
