Avatar n tn Hello... Some people report worsening palpitations with Betablockers, although this is uncommon. Betablockers don't actually cause palpitations. However, they slow the heart rate down to the point that any palpitations are more noticeable. Have you discussed this with your Dr?
Avatar f tn A nurse practioner I have dealt with for years says I should go up to the 40 mg per endocrinologist. Also have to take metoprolol for palpitations and shaking and was nervous about that as I have some wheezing and throat congestion from time to time. Doctor's said it is fine. I just wanted to check that this may all be normal as far as adjusting to the Methimazole? Most of my life I have not had the need for any medications and only take supplements which my doctors approve of them.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone, I've had palpitations for the last month usually triggered by a change in position, I've had them in the past, I took fleccainide for them and the palpitations subsided. Eventually I weaned off of the drug. Had no palpitations for a solid 6-7 months then they came back. I didn't want to start taking the fleccainide again because I read nasty things about and I'm only 21 years old so I didn't think I should take it.
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 n tn I’m only taking 5 mg of lisinopril and I take 150 mg Zoloft I’ve been having a extra heartbeat (palpitations ) my cardio put me on 12.5 mg of metoprolol a 25 mg cut in half is this all safe to take togather.?
Avatar n tn Now I notice I am getting heart palpitations throughout the day, some are so strong they cause my chest muscles to contract suddenly. Am also struggling with spells of dizziness and light-headedness along with adrenalin flushes that seem to come and go. Can going off of metroprolol be causing them? Once off the metroprolol will they lessen? Can 325 mg per day of aspirin be causing them or aggravating them? Thank you! These past 8 months have been pretty tough.
Avatar f tn Hi, I’ve had palpitations for 3 yrs (started @ 25 now 28) EKG, echo & Holter all normal. I was prescribed metoprolol 50mg/day then & everything’s been great up until 5 months ago. Palpitations came back stronger, brought occasional flutter, and pain in chest, neck, back of head & arms and everyday! EKG & holter completed again this yr & normal no significant change from 3 yrs ago but I feel a lot worse.
Avatar f tn 5 mg of Metoprolol succinate for 10 days to be taken once a day to control the palpitations and increased heart beat. However I read from several sources that abruptly stopping the medicine will do more harm than good. Question: as I only need to take it for 10 days, will I not abruptly stop it after taking it only for such a short period of time?
Avatar f tn So then he suggested that I should take anxiety medication to control my heart palpitations and I told him rather take a beta blocker to control my palpitations, I told him that I use to take Metoprolol and I would much rather continue that medication ONLY instead of anxiety/depression oriented meds.
Avatar n tn i have been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse as a result to my 2D ECHO test. i feel like giving up in life because i can always feel heart palpitations and heartbeat skips. when i have palpitations, my heart rate reaches to 260 bps, which is more than thrice faster than a normal heart beat. eventhough i am doing nothing, my heartbeat skips and when i can't monitor the skipping of my heartbeat it will result to rapid palpitations and i don't know when it will get to normal beating.
Avatar f tn ve had a couple more incidents of fast heart rate for no apparent reason, the number of incidents has greatly improved. So heres my question. Now that I'm on a higher dose beta blocker, & a better one (Metoprolol) can I start having a bit of morning coffee again? I really miss it. I don't want to have the fast pulses again but will the Metoprolol allow me to enjoy morning coffee again?
Avatar n tn If it started after you started the concerta which you say is a stimulant then that could be the problem.When i was put on metoprolol right away i started having heart palpitations and arythmias so i do know some medications can cause side effects like your having allthough most people do very well on metoprolol i just wasent one of them. so anyways what has your doctor told you about your symptoms?
Avatar n tn Some time ago I went to the ER for palpitations. I had been sick with a nasty ear infection for a number of days and suddenly picked of hundreds of palpitations, I went to the ER they diagnosed PAC's and sent me home. They did note that my blood sugar was high which they thought was related to being sick. A follow-up test showed normal blood sugar, so if I have diabetes it must not be chronic.
12182312 tn?1427683956 Quick question And I still will ask my doctor about this, but wanted your opinion. I take Paxil for depression, well generic brand, and also metoprolol for fast palpitations. My paroxetine is 40mg, and metoprolol is 25mg. Are they safe to take together. Is one an upper, one a downer. I take Paxil in the morning, metoprolol before bed.
Avatar f tn I do have anxiety and am on medicine for that, but my cardiologist put me on metoprolol, a very low dose, trying to help with my heart rate palpitations. I took my 1/2 pill of metoprolol 2 days ago and felt weird, which could have been just nervous bc I was scared of what it would do to my heart rare. My heart rate really hasn't been too high here lately so that's why I was concerned.

Avatar f tn About four weeks ago I went to emerg with tachycardia regular sinus at about 180 beats/min which it did for several hours until they gave me metoprolol. My heart has not really gone back to a regular beat since - I am now on metoprolol. Would a previous heart attack show up on an ECG? I am exhausted and am losing weight ( which is normally almost impossible for me) I am also anxiety ridden. Thanks for your help.

Avatar f tn My heart hurts more with activity so my doc told me only walking and put me on metoprolol for palpitations. But other than that my pain is a constant on and off. I am on ibuprofen as needed. Is this not aggressive enough? I don’t want to have this forever. I feel like I am stuck. Really depressed and don’t sleep much because my body needs exercise. I was also wondering if it’s okay for me to masturbate...
Avatar f tn I'm a 33 year old male, in good overall physical health. I have had benign palpitations pvcs, pacs for some time now. For about a year I've been taking Metoprolol 25 mg twice a day for benign tachycardia. I have a structurally normal heart. Question, sometimes during sex I feel my heart rate get up very high, I know this is normal. My doc prescribed me 5mg Cialis to take because I told him I was having some trouble maintaining an erection at times during sex.
Avatar f tn I am a 73 year old female & have been on metoprolol for 14 months & have no problems with an elevated heart rate. After my exercise on a treadmill 42 minutes at 3.7 with an elevation of 6 it will get to 100 - 110 and then on cool down will get in the 90's. The rest of the time it is 60 or 70's. When I was in rehab, it seemed to be a little high after exercise but never 133.
Avatar f tn I was on Metoprolol for about 2 years and had some weird experiences with it. For several months, I was taking 50mg once daily. I could not take more than that. It seemed like every day, about 20 hrs after taking the dose, I would start getting a pattern of 3 normal beats, three hard beats, three normal beats, etc. for several hours until I took the next dose. It meant taking a dose every 20 hours and that got really difficult.
Avatar f tn I do not like the palpitations and raised heart rate that I get off of my medication. Anyways, she wants me on metoprolol tartrate. Because I have been on the atenolol for 4 years I have concerns. Will this medication treat me the same as the atenolol. Is there a posibility of not being able to take this medication. Does it have the same action as the atenolol? I appreciate and thank whatever answers I can get. Right now I am trying to lower myself off the atenolol.
Avatar n tn Forgot to ask.. What has worked to get you back into a normal rhythm or to atleast bring you down from extremely fast beats? For me (toporol) metoprolol givin in an IV brings my heart rate down but doesn't convert me. Adenosine is completely useless. I havent been shocked yet, im hoping that doesn't happen. I tried bisoprolol (zebeta) 5mg oraly brought my heart rate down too much.. it was about 45bpm resting. So im back to 12.5mg metoprolol daily.
Avatar m tn My son is 18 and started having heart palpitations and chills tonight. He also has a headache. He can't relax because this is bothering him so much. He does have a doctors appt tomorrow at 11:15am. Any suggestions to calm the palpitations?
1690454 tn?1305958858 Hi, i have been having strange sensations in my chest for around a year or so now, its like my heart gets stuck then beats hard, i have these feelings every day nearly all day with a few intervals where i dont feel them. I have been to the doctors who examimed me, my pulse was normal, Had an ECG but the ecg came back abnormal so he is sending me to see a cardiologist. Should i be worried? I want to get this sorted as its not a nice feeling. He has put me on betablockers for the time being.
Avatar m tn I'm 35, white, 6'-4" (193 cm), 155 lbs (70 kg). I've been having premature atrial contractions (PACs) for about ten years. These were originally diagnosed by wearing an event/Holter monitor. They've always been asymptomatic (i.e., no lightheadedness, fatigue, syncope, etc.). Because I'm very thin and have a minor case of pectus excavatum, I tend to feel the palpitations quite distinctly, though especially while inactive and sitting or laying down.
