I am a 26 Y/O Male. My normal are as follows: BP-100/70 P- 100 IR (resting ) R-16. These proved not to work. About 2 years ago while working for a fire dept. I had another episode. While I was in full firegear I felt distress. When I entered the building I collapsed. The doctor then told me anxiety. But that I did have an elevated resting heart rate. In Dec. of 2008 I began experiencing frequent palpitations and high heart rates while at rest.
My doctor recently switched me to Bystolic - and I was given "samples" for a month but no instruction sheet or counter-indications as far as drug interaction. Would there be any problem with the above that I am taking and this drug? Also, I just lost (and want to continue to lose weight) 16 pounds on a diet program and don't want to regain that weight! Does Bystolic cause weight gain?
Hi I'm 30 and was dxd with wpw in Jan 08 after being rushed to the hospital with a hr of 314. Very scared.......the docs told me that my best bet was to have ablation so I had a specialist come from Mass General in Boston to perform the ablation. The docs cleared me to return to my normal lifestyle, working out etc. Since then I have had continuous palpitations and just last week was once again rushed to the hospital with hr in the 200's. Now they tell me I have A fib.
Hello - I'm 30 years old, and I was diagnosed with WPW back in college after a few episodes of rapid heartbeats. I've never taken any medication for the WPW, and I haven't yet had an ablation procedure. I very rarely have symptoms of WPW - my last episode of rapid beats was about five years ago.
I recently visited a cardiologist to ask about WPW because my husband and I are thinking about having a baby, and I wasn't sure how pregnancy might affect someone with WPW.
Hi,
I was recently diagnosed with WPW, and have only had symptoms for the past 2 months. I've also had sudden pains in my wrists, elbows, shoulders and legs, and really bad pins and needles in my feet. On the right side more than the left.
Not sure if this is related to the WPW at all, but it's only been happening for the past week or so, while I've had almost constant palpitations.
This works well to control my tachy....but, has bad side effects of anxiety, restlessness and agitation. I lookd up Bystolic..and it has none of these type side effects listed. I was going to ask my doctor to change to Bystolic. Has anyone here had any success in changing over to Bystolic from Metoprolol ?
I take Bystolic too and I have also noticed a weight gain. I too haven't changed my eating habits. I am beginning to think it's the Bystolic because I usually can lose weight very easily, but I can't lose it now at all no matter what I do.
You mentioned your systolic readings, mine do the same thing in the afternoons.
My Cadiologist Recently prescribed Bystolic 5 Mg tablets I per day . I have since begun having dizzy spells Can they be a side effect from the Bystolic?
I have been taking bystolic for several years and for me it seems to work much better than atenolol or lopressor, without all the side effects. I have had to up my dosage a couple of times and right at first my stomach will feel a little off and I may get a very slight headache but it goes away quickly.
I have both of these diseases, Mytral Valvue Prolance and WPW. The problem is that I am having parpitation episodes that bring my heart to 156-170 speed; they are not that frequent. My doctor suggests Catheter Ablation. I am a little nervous and would like to know how one (WPW) can be treated without treating or affecting the other (Mytral Valvue Prolance). Are my palpitation related to the second one as well? I am 34 years old and don't know if I should wait before that operation.
I have been having a constant chest pounding and pain radiating all over my left and right breast area, all tests done proved negative for heart condition but the pain rather than decreasing, seem to be increasing in intensity. I am on LISINOPRIL-HCTZ 20-25MG and BYSTOLIC for HBP I am also on PRAVASTATIN for Cholesterol. I recently had to stop the Bystolic because my heart rate was low between 45-62.
My blood pressure was first medicated with losartan, after early morning headcahes were waking me. Years later that symptom returned, and bystolic was added. Things were great for years again.
My new symptoms include a widening gap between the upper number and lower number-the lower number has dropped into the 60's and my upper number has risen to 150's to 180's, yet I weigh less now than when I started bystolic.
then put me on Bystolic, 5 mg, 1 x daily. I have been on the Bystolic for 3 weeks and the leg pain is back. Have appt with family Dr. tomorrow morning to talk with him again. I believe that it is the beta blocker that causes the pain and am now wondering if all beta blockers would cause it. Has anyone else had leg pain on the atenolol or bystolic? Also, can anyone else tell me of any other type of medicine that helped to lower heart rate other that a beta blocker?
Hi Annbez,
I just googled WPW and it's my worst nightmare that something that seems so common like PVCs can actually be something like WPW and cause sudden death. According to wikipedia, "the incidence of WPW syndrome is between 0.9 and 3% of the general population". Do you have experience with someone that has WPW? Why would you think it was WPW or suggest that i ask about it? Back in 2002, I had a stress test done along with echocardio, wore a monitor for 24 hours etc.
LIke other beta blockers, the most common adverse events with Bystolic are headache, fatigue and dizziness. However, the manufacturer states studies have shown that Bystolic was well tolerated, with a low incidence of traditional beta blocker side effects.
In addition, Bystolic decreases vascular peripheral resistance, improves left ventricular performance and is not associated with decreases in cardiac output sometimes seen with the initiation of other beta blockers.
