I am a 38 year old female with SVT and migraine. I was started on verapamil 120 mg then advised to increase the dose to 240 mg. At 240 mg, I experienced severe palpitations which woke me up at night, caused shortness of breath, and fullness in my neck. When I decreased the dose to 120 mg, the palpitations resolved.
I was taking verapamil for my tachycardia, I'm not sure about those side effects but you can definitely google verapamil and it should explain all side effects... I had an allergic reaction to it so I had to stop it... Now I'm on something I can't pronounce or spell, so I would look it up or even talk to your doctor about it and see if there is something else that you can take maybe a calcium channeller vs the beta blocker...
my friend just started taking trandolapril 1mg and Irbesartan its only been a couple days but she feels awful
dizzy, heart palpatations, head ache and her blood pressure is still really high 190/110
should she just stick it out?
It is up to the doctor. I'm not sure why you would take both verapamil and diltiazem since they are both CCB's. I'm going to assume the doctor is prescribing this and you're not just going to find the med and add it yourself. Ask the doctor about how the medications work and why you need both.
Hi....
I am a 30 y/o female who was dx with psvt in july 2010. My svt was seen on a 48 hr event monitor and I had rates of 188 from simple activity such as climbing my steps. My EP/Cardio attempted an ablation on 7/15/10. They weren't able to sustain the svt long enough to ablate and discovered that my accesorry pathway is up against my SA node so I run the risk of needing a pacemaker if the svt is ablated.
hi. i have been on verapamil and prednisone for over a week(for migraines). the past few days i have been experiencing neck pain, facial swelling and tingling in cheeks. as a kid if you have ever stood on your head and then got up real quick...the blood rushing to your head type of feeling is what i am experiencing in my cheeks. if that makes sense. i went to my nuro today he said stop the verapamil it could be the cause. should i go to the ER?
in 2018 i wanted to get off verapamil because it caused my colon to slow down making me sick from CIC, so i saw a new electro heart doc and he ordered me off the meds and a week later had a stress test and 48h holter. Doc called with the results and he was fine with everything and i could stay off the meds.
Everything was fine for the last two years, I would go days without feeling a skip and when i did, it would cause anxiety and eventually go away.
s can do is relax the blood vessels and in some cases, people do get nasty headaches. I take Dilitazem and until my body adjusted (two weeks) I had some whopper headaches. Felt like my head was on a bouncing shish-kabob skewer. They eventually tapered off. If you've been on the med for a month or so and still have really bad headaches, ask your doctor about changing to a different type of Verapamil (smaller dose 2 x a day for example) or a different medication all together.
He told me to wean off of the metoprolol for 5 days while taking the verapamil, and to cut down to 50mg on the metoprolol for the first day and go progressively down throughout the 5 days it takes for the verapamil to get in my system.
I haven't started the verapamil yet. Partially because I have a hard time swallowing pills, partially because I am confused about the specifics of switching.
Be careful taking diltiazem (lisinopril). I was on it for medium high blood pressure for 5 years and finally stopped taking it because it had caused deep depression, not to feelings of suicide though. It seemed to build up, so be on the lookout for feelings of not caring and hopelessness. Now I'm on Verapamil and am doing OK except for the ankle swelling. Tried another CB'er (Cartia XT or Cardizem) and had the same edema effect.
it can cause the palps. The Verapamil is in the beta blocker family and should never be stopped abruptly and instead under a doctors guidance you should have been eased or weaned off of it because what specifically happens is just this...its called "rebound effects" which mean once to denied your system the meds it rebounded and anything that may have laid dormat just came to the surface X 3 or 4.
First few weeks I applied it morning and night, and i would get an erection easily during application, hard ones like always as before starting the verapamil application. The third and fourth weeks of application, my whole penis SWELLED, turned RED, and became NUMB. During these observations, I saw a big change and I think im in trouble. I became not as hard, too elastic..
I wouldn't really worry about that. 90bpm is nothing to fear, quite normal actually. I was on Verapamil 240mg as well and for me it didn't really lower my heart rate that much. The more you think about them the apparent and disruptive they seem to be. If you weren't calculating your pulse to see how fast it's going you wouldn't spend as much time worrying. Just knowing that anything below 100bpm is fine. Take it easy everyday and you'll eventually get it sorted out.
