Avatar n tn I have had episodes of SVT for my entire life and was diagnosed with WPW 30 years ago. My episodes also always go away on their own -- usually with in the first few minutes if I can lay prone and do some valsalva maneuvers, although I occasionally have gone to the ER for monitoring only because if the SVT lasts too long my BP gets a little low.
Avatar n tn I am currently on 150 mg of zoloft and 25 mg of metoprolol. I am going out with a few friends tonight and was wondering if anything bad will happen if I have a 2 or 3 alcohol drinks. I never drink so it is not like I drink all the time.
Avatar m tn I take metoprolol and my doctor said it`s ok to have one or two drinks but not to over do it. Be careful when I mix the two I get very tired.
Avatar m tn PVC's sometimes come and go, but for the most part pvc's dont ever go away. If you have shortness of breath with them, more than likely you may have short runs of back to back pvc's. I have NSVT and sometimes it makes me light headed. Doctors believe my condition is benign even with NSVT. For the most part if you do not have heart disease pvc's are a relatively benign condition. Sometimes down the road in life if you have pvcs frequently enough it can cause cardiomyopathy.
Avatar m tn Hi there. I recently had a positive tilt table test and my cardiologist prescribed metoprolol 25 ml. once a day. My resting heart rate is sometimes in the 50s and I was worried that it would get too low if I took the beta blocker. Also, is taking a beta blocker the best medicine for my particular case? In general, I was feeling lightheaded and did actually faint a couple of times. When I went to the ER they said I was dehydrated and I was given saline.
Avatar f tn t have high blood pressure, just tachycardia and the metoprolol really helps keep that in check. Should I just stay on metoprolol and try the cialis and see how it works or should I try the cardizem?
Avatar f tn My doctor was very reassuring and with eliminating triggers (coffee and more than 2 glasses of alcohol) the problem is much reduced. It did kick me into exercising and reducing stress (it happened while travelling for work which I always find stressful). Spicy food also seems to cause me a problem, sometimes. Get everything checked out and if they give you a clear bill of health, you must believe it. Even when the thumps and racing heart come on. It must be our age.
Avatar f tn My resting heartrate while lying down is between 60 and 70. Sitting it's between 70 and 80. Standing, walking and doing light activities it can be anywhere between 90 and 120. I'm 32 years old. I have Mitral valve prolapse with mild regurgitation and inappropriate tachycardia. I take 12.5 mgs of Metoprolol Succinate ER and can hopegully wean off completely soon.
Avatar m tn I am diagnosed by cardiologist as a patient with diastolic dysfunction, for the last three years and is under medical treatment ,Lisnopril 5mg, metoprolol 50 mg,ranaloxine, astovatastin 20 mg with asprin (ecosprin) 75 mg < I am 68 years old,BP 140/80 and an ex soldier . and have chest pain and breathlessness if i climb stairs fast,or work after meals.
Avatar f tn This just came up on another post -- "Metoprolol and Alcohol". I have taken BB for over a decade and am unaware of any specific concerns about mixing the two (and was never warned otherwise), although both could be viewed to be CNS depressants of a sort, so it wouldn't surprise me to hear the two may not mix well.
Avatar f tn I'm a 29 year old male 5'11 175 lbs. I had been smoking the synthetic marijuana regularly but all of a sudden one day I hit it once and my heart rate went to 220 bpm with significant increase in bp they say its just a panic attack but its been 5 months and I continue to have these episodes i'm being treated with Metoprolol 12.Mg bid and xanax 1 Mg bid. If I drink or smoke I tend to have bad episodes with pulse up to 160 and bp 160/100.
Avatar n tn I did ask my doctor if the metoprolol could be the cause and he did not seem to think so -- it might be as Brooke says, that the lower heart rate makes them more noticeable - my HR on metoprolol is in the 40s as my normal resting HR is about mid-50s. I have given up coffee and alcohol which has not made any difference. Hope things get better for you.
1027737 tn?1253103788 Hi, Can someone tell me what the difference between Metoprolol and Metoprolol Tartrate is? Thank You in advance!
Avatar n tn My electrophysiologist recently put me on a beta blocker (Metoprolol) 25 mg twice a day for hypertension and a ton of other symptoms he said must be due to Neurocardiogenic Syncope. I was diagnosed with asthma a couple years ago and it seems as if the beta blocker is causing shortness of breath and a feeling that seems similar to how I feel after exercising, a sort of chest tightness I would say. Is this common for beta blockers to do to people with asthma?
Avatar n tn He has the shakes so bad he cannot eat, becuase he cannot eat he is losing his appetite and strength. They put him on a beta-blocker Metoprolol. He coughs so bad he chokes.
Avatar f tn I recently had an exacerbation of svt requiring adenosine and an increase in my maintenance metoprolol dosage. I essentially lost a day of memory and have been forgetful and foggy headed. Just wondering if this is normal. I can't get any doctor I have seen to address this.
Avatar n tn I never know when they are going to come on and how strong they are going to be and how long they are going to last. The cardiologist has now put me on the 50mg of metoprolol/daily and 100mg of Flecainide/twice daily. Yesterday was my first dose of the flecainide and I ended up in the emergency room again. The doctor at the ER just sounded annoyed with me...told me nothing can be done, PVC's are benign. All he did was give me 1mg of Ativan for anxiety. I don't know what to do anymore...
Avatar f tn I'm 33 years old and prescibed Metoprolol for my heart palpitations, which happens everytime I eat food. After all cardiac tests came back normal, she mentioned that it may be stress related. I'm now being prescribed 20 mg Celexa for aniexty. I only take 6.25 mg of Metoprolol, cutting it into quarters, but are scared to take the two in combination. There are so many warnings about not mixing them. My heart rate has slowed down with the Celexa, but I still get the pounding sensation.
Avatar f tn I had, on average, 20-30,000 ectopic beats every day, and 6-700 runs of SVT per day. Most of my episodes occur at night. From 10pm to 6am, my hourly burden of PACs/SVTwas 30-80%. It starts in the evening and then keeps me awake constantly. The meds have all been a disaster. I have had two ablation attempts with failure to induce. The last ablation attempt caused pericarditis. I was.taking Metoprolol, which I have taken before and it always seems to stop working.
Avatar f tn Finally got my Doctor to take me seriously and was put on the lowest dose of metoprolol and pvcs are very infrequent now. I still refrain from drinking, sugar and caffeine and haven’t used a Xanax since. Coping was hard so I kept on my doctor and finally the NP in his office prescribed the metoprolol. I understand it doesn’t help everyone but it wouldn’t hurt to contact your doctor about it.
Avatar n tn I have frequent PVC's (often with bigeminy) and I also have lots of reflux problems. I have been getting a lot more PVC's the past couple of weeks. I switched from Toprol XL to generic Metoprolol, and I I don't know if that has had any affect. I have also had increased reflux issues during this time. I am getting more PVC's and bigeminy than normal and am noticing it most when I lean forward, especailly while eating. Does this sound like the PVC's are coming from reflux?
Avatar m tn t know Atelenol, but I do know Metoprolol and AFib. I am currently living with AFib and taking medications only to control, lower, my heart rate (HR). Metoprolol does the latter, as well as given unwanted lowering of my blood pressure (BP). So I am treating AFib as a condition that is treated for "rate control" and for "clot prevention", I also take warfarin.
