Norvasc and heart rate
Common Questions and Answers about Norvasc and heart rate
norvasc
Amlodipine have very little effect on heart rate and contraction while Verapamil have the greatest effects on the heart and reduce the strength and rate of contraction. Since they have different actions, it is best that you discuss this first with your attending physician for proper management. Take care and best regards.
She was previously tested a few months back and her Echo, Carotid Ultrasound and Stress Test were ok but other than blood work at the hospital, heart rate monitoring and a chest x-ray, no other tests were done at the hospital. However, the heart monitor showed several sinus bradycardia episodes in the high 30's. I worry about how low her rate goes down during sleep if it goes down this far when she is awake.
and I was taken off Norvasc because my BP was low and was causing fatigue problems, and problems with GERD. Now when I go and ride the bike my heart rate goes up slowly to 140 BPM but when I quit my heart rate stays at about 100-112 most of the day. I feel no other problems (lightheaded, or pain in my chest for E.G.). I do take hydrochlorthizide for BP but my BP is 119/70. I am feeling a little anxious about it, but other than that I feel fine.
Coreg is medication that helps lower the heart rate and bp. The stress test will evaluate one's physical condition a peak heart rate unmedicated, and how quickly the heart rae returns to normal within 3 minutes or so. Other phases of the test considered as well.
Apparently I am experiencing heart spasms. I also have migraines which they feel are causing the arterial heart spasms. I had a heart catherization and my heart is healthy. I just have occasionally high blood pressure. Believe me I am as confused as you. That is why I am asking if it is okay to take Topamax for my migraines and Norvasc and Cardizem for my heart. I haven't spoke with a pharmacist as of yet. I will pick up the Norvasc today.
My mother is diagnose with unstable angina a month a ago and the doctor asked us to monitor her blood pressure since she is discharged from the hospital her blood pressure is always normal but there are sometimes that her bp is 100/50 and last day her bp is 120/40 she is 71 years old and taking medications such as norvasc. lipitor,aspirin, imdur or ISMN and losartan. Please help me is it normal for her age? Thank you...
I worry about taking the Norvasc also since I have read it can cause increased heart rate. If I have sinus tachycardia and my doctor has decreased my beta blocker..should I be concerned with the Norvasc causing a dangerous arrhythmia? My heart rate now ranges from about 50bpm up to 90 resting. In addition, I have huge pauses in my heart beat when I breath fully in and start to breath out and vice versa. It makes me feel dizzy when it happens and wakes me up at night.
Well, this is up to you and your doctor. I don't think we can give you any useful advice regarding how to treat this.
One comment I would like to add, is that I can't understand why you are so afraid of short events of high blood pressure? High blood pressure is not a disease, it's a risk factor for future heart problems.We all have different blood pressure response towards stress.
Before I had the chance within a 2 minute time frame my heart rate went from normal to 160 bpm and would not stop. Went to er where they did blood work and said all blood work looked normal. I experienced the racing and shortness of breath for about 2 to 3 hours off and on. Er doc said probably some tachardia due to stopping the beta blocker I had been on for years.
i have blood pressure 116 over 72 angiogram shows no problem with cholesterol 2.5 on test. i have been given norvasc and lipitol ?
9 170 but my blood pressure is always fine at home i do suffer from anxiety but it goes thru the roof when i see a doctor or go to the ER i am 27 years old, i have to see a doc once a week for another condition, but it never fails my pulse and BP rises very high in doctors settings, once i come home both my pulse and pressure is fine again , my worry and problem is how much damage is being done to my heart when my blood pressure spikes like this once a week?
The pain is relieved by a medicine called nitroglycerin (dilates coronary vessels). You have been prescribed norvasc and that should relieve any chest pains. Norvasc is in a group of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It dilates blood vessels and slows the heart to reduce blood pressure and the pain of angina. Calcium channel blockers may be needed long term. Medications may also include beta-blockers. However, in some cases of spastic angina, beta-blockers may be harmful.
I has a stent put in 1year ago. All of asudden my heart rate increased 108 to 112 resting. Had a nuclear stree test done results are normal. Doctor had already increased my Cardizem Cd to 360 in Am <180 at night. Heart rate was good for 2days ,around 80 . Yesterday I flt like my chest was going to explode. Took Maltha and 2 nitro, pain went away..
Many times a day I fel a chest discomfort that lasts for seconds,sometimes it feels like someone blew a bubble in my chest.
when i got home my bp was 143 over 100 and my heart rate was 104...then i went to the kitchen and check my blood pressure standing up it was 139 over 93 was a heart rate of 129 just standing does anybody know wht this is happening..is it the extraction and how much blood i swollowed or is it the antibotics ...what my friends please help!..
By then I was already starting to feel twitchy and anxious and my heart rate was a little higher than normal, running about 75 bpm or so. The condition quickly ramped up, my heart was racing and I experienced about 15 minutes of irregular beats. It was awful. My heart was jumping around like a fish in a barrel. I had to lie down. By about 10pm I started to feel better but I thought I had slipped back into a-fib (which is why I take the Sotalol) and was feeling very depressed.
If the medication you are taking lowers your blood pressure, maintain normal heart rate and there is no chest pain (angina) it would appear you are properly treated and your medication is effective. You may not need continued medication with Bidil if you have stable angina (no chest pain with rest or minor activities)...unstable angina is chest pain with or without exertion and continue med would be appropiate.
My blood pressures are still running somewhat high at times. The problem is the diastolic and the heart rate. Earlier today it was 144/102 but at that point my heart rate was 73. Some of my recent readings are 141/101 pulse of 104: 129/104 with a pulse of 90; 137/102 with a pulse of 102. I have a couple of questions. 1) is it a danger when the systolic minus the diastolic are less than 40 in difference? 2) I did not get to see my physician but did see the PA...
I take a small amount of atenolol a beta blocker (12mg per day) and 7.5 mg of norvasc which is a calcium channel blocker for HBP. My blood pressure is normal with the drugs. My heart rate is low from the beta blocker (45-50 BPM). I have read that if you become anemic from the riba or boceprivir that the beta blockers could be dangerous. Anyone know or have any experience with these meds or something like them.
I am on metoprolol and with a slower heart rate it does feel as if you are out of breath after exertion.... due to the slower heart rate and therefore less blood gets pumped/beat. This is one reason you stop taking a beta blocker before a stress test. Not really a true side effect when you consider the reason why one takes a beta blocker.
