Avatar m tn If I were you, I'd ask (strongly) that the doctor adjust the dosage of Furosemide to a more tolerable level for your body and then monitor the results. I was in the hospital twice with impaired breathing. Both times five pounds of fluid was drained. A NURSE (not a doctor) told me to take in less fluids in the course of a day to prevent future fluid build-up. I have complained on a couple of occasions that I feel the hydrochlorothiazide (for HBP and water retention) is not doing the job.
Avatar n tn I had been on a mild diuretic, Chlorthalodone, for my slightly elevated BP. My cardiologist replaced it with 25mg of Metaprolol. At first, the Metaprolol seemed to lessen the PVC's, but after a few months now, I don't believe that it is reducing their occurrence whatsoever. Also, my BP has crept back up into the 130's, which is where it was before I started taking the diuretic or Metaprolol.
9043033 tn?1401346653 Although I'm on Norvasc, Metoprolol, Clonodine my B/P is never in the normal range. Lately it's been running around 240/120 most all the time, especially in the evenings and nighttime. I had a stroke in 2006 and have been on Lasix 80mg. 3 times a day, Demedex 20mg. 2 times a day. My dr. doesn't give me a reason for having to be on such high doses of diuretics or reasons for my B/P being so high although I'm on all those B/P meds.
Avatar f tn Been on Atenolol (for 15 years) then switched to Metoprolol when the Aten quit stopping the palpitations. Well..I havent felt "right" for a while now. Tired, always feel like I have a SLIGHT case of vertigo..not really dizzy..but...off.... I kept up with my workouts and every other crazy thing in my life. Went to the cardiac workout place on Wed of last week to workout, and I was telling the tecnician about how I had been feeling.
1090984 tn?1463769850 I am on 10mg lisinopril and 12.5 of a Diuretic. My fingers have been swelling up so bad the last 3 months to the point I had to have my rings cut off. My doctor doesn't seem concerned, just gave me another Diuretic 12.5 to take it when I swell up again. Will that lower my BP a lot or make me feel weird? I never heard of anyone taking that much unless they have CHF. I am a little concered why my fingers are so puffy all the time.
Avatar f tn Just curious - why is a diuretic bad for arrhythmias? I have been on Diovan (with a diuretic) for years. When Paroxsymal (sp?) Afibs were diagnosed nothing was changed with the Diovan, but Metoprolol 25 mg was added to my daily routine. After the fainting episode I talked the doc into taking me off the diuretic which I hated anyway. So I shouldn't have been on it after the Afibs were diagnosed?
Avatar f tn 5 (for diabetes sugar), Heart meds (coumadin -for mechical valves, lasix 20 mg, metoprolol 75m (beta blocker), amiodarone/cardavone 200mg, spironductne - 12.5 m) I'm not sure what all these are for...he does have a pacemaker/difib device that was put in mid-july. My question is 2 fold: Is it typical to see a worse EF after procedures designed to help? Is there a problem with his meds? We are in a remote area and I'm wondering if our cardiologist is really doing everything they can.
Avatar n tn About a month ago I started having problems with high blood pressure. I have never had problems before. I have a heart murmur and palpitations (skipping/double beats) forever. My BP was surging to 198/104 and I had to go to the hospital. They said I could have hypertension and sent me to my primary doctor. She said stress and anxiety could be causing it and put me on 25 mg twice a day of Metoprolol and 12.
Avatar n tn This happened to me too! I stopped the diuretic and put on 15lbs. in few days of water. I never had this much water me when I was put on diuretics. It has been weeks and the water is not coming off no matter what I do. Did you loose your rebound edema and if so, how long? How much did you put on and loose? This is scary!
976897 tn?1379167602 Are you taking any beta blocker or ace inhibitor?
Avatar m tn Is the Atenolol suitable, or should I request another beta blocker? Likewise, is there a better diuretic than Chlortalidone? I keep reading about Coreg and & Demadex. Are these better options? Cozaar: They initially wanted to put me on Lisinopril, but I was on that previously and I had a terrible, nagging cough the entire time. I've read that ACE Inhibitors are preferable to ARBs, though, when it comes to CHF.
Avatar f tn “Thus, a triple drug regimen of an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, calcium channel blocker and a thiazide diuretic is effective and generally well-tolerated.” Ultimately, however, combinations of three or more drugs must be tailored to the individual, considering prior benefit, history of adverse events, additional medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease or diabetes, and patient financial limitations.
Avatar f tn I do, when I skipped my diuretic pill. I have gained up to 3 pounds the next day. If you are on a diuretic pill don't skip it. If you aren't on a diuretic pill you should talk to your doctor. You need a prescription from your doctor for a diuretic pill.
369861 tn?1306275686 html Natural diuretic More and more people are resorting to natural foods and herbs that exhibit diuretic properties instead of diuretic pills. Moderation is the watchword even in the case of natural diuretics. Natural diuretics can aid in removal of excess fluids from the body and aid in treating of sciatica, kidney stone, lymphatic swelling, PMS, gonorrhea, liver disorders and high blood pressure. Green tea is a natural diuretic food that has been in use for centuries in China.
12182312 tn?1427683956 SSRIs like paroxetine are a type of antidepressant that works by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain, while metoprolol is a beta blocker which works on the heart. What type of metoprolol are you taking. Metoprolol Tartrate or Metoprolol Succinate?
Avatar f tn Im already on 100 mg 1 time a day of extended release Metoprolol.....and I think, just to appease me, because ive had a couple really really bad days of almost nonstop palps..he said to increase my Metoprolol to 1 100mg tablet in the morning...and 1 100mg tablet at night. Anyone EVER been on such a huge dose before??? I trust him...but yet....Im scared to take that much!!! ANY info on SVC OR Metoprolol would be appreciated!
Avatar n tn I have taken Toprol xl 25 mg for about 5 years. My doctor switched me to metoprolol several months ago. When I filled my prescription this time, it was from a different mfg and I think I may be having problems with it as I just don't feel right. Could changing the mfg make a difference? ALSO, my doctor prescribed 50 mg to be cut in half for my prescribed 25 mg dose. Does cutting this tablet in half compromise the time release?
Avatar n tn I have been having some strange symptoms since starting metoprolol as a migraine preventative. My head feels like it weighs a ton, and there is a lot of pressure up there, too. I've also been experiencing blurry vision and some concentration issues. I also take lithium, trazodone and neurontin and a rare xanax.
443862 tn?1237999439 I don't think the metoprolol, a beta blocker which; reduces the force and rate of the contraction of the heart, is causing this. The medicines that you take for hyperthyroidism might cause some exacerbation of the "hard heart beat" symptoms, especially if they are contraindicated with metoprolol, of course. Your doctor should be on top of this and I would let him know about it, especially if it just started, or is getting worse.
Avatar n tn yes, whenever you have reasonable cause to think that a medication is causing some problem, you should tell the doctor. But in this case, he might not think there is a connection. Still, you never know... in the meantime, if it were me on Lasix I'd be busy replacing the minerals that the loop diuretic is eliminating through urine: especially potassium and magnesium.... and copper. Maybe they have something to do with it. You can also cut way back on salt consumption and so need less Lasix.
