But, Atenolol is a beta blocker and some people find that BBs suppress their PVCs.
ve been hypertensive for 10+ years but have been treating it with meds and diet since diagnosis in my mid-20s. I take diovan and HCTZ (40mgs and 12.5mgs respectively). My resting pulse rate is usually 60-70. I probably get about 2 or 3 PVCs per hour and have had an echo test, stress test, halter monitor, etc, and have been cleared as healthy and fine by my doc. I am learning to live with this, but what alarms me is that the PVCs increase with exercise.
Thinking about them make it worse so try to keep your mind off of them. These things come and go. Mine will happen off and on for years and then just go away for a year or two, no one really knows why. Your heart has been proclaimed as healthy by your doctor so these things should not really have any significance.

I wonder how many you had because I have read posts on here from people who have worn a 24 hr monitor and they had like 35000 (yes thousand) PVCs ina 24hr period and were not put on any meds. Research PVCs and PACs. Dont get anxious about this because it will make it worse. Call your doctor and just straight up ask them if you are in any life danger.
hi all
i have do two hart valve replacement when i was 18 , i was fine now and now i am 35 , in 2013 i checked my EF it was 44% so it still ok for someone with my condition in 2015 i check it agin and it is now 28% , my doctor give my Co-Diovan half pill every day , and ask to check after 6 month but he didn't look good when talking to me.
now i am very stressed , i have 3 kids and i want to improve my EF can any one let me know what i can do ?
appreciate anyone input.
In regards to the stent, I take Plavix 75mgn, Diovan 80 mg, Aspirin 325 mg and Furosemide 20 mg. (Some of these meds make me feel very tired, particularly the Mexiletine.)
Four weeks after my hospitalization, I started working out on my elliptical 3-4 times a week and currently I do approx 1.7 miles per workout. (My doctor said don't push it.) I usually average 11-12 min miles I do have some pvcs while at rest or exercising, but they don’t bother me.
I am taking 160 mg Diovan for high blood pressure, as well as 20 mg Levostatin for high cholesterol. I believe that I have ed caused by the Diovan. Is it safe to take ed drugs as well?
I had taken Toprolol when much younger and in normal sinus rhythm (then it too was 50mg SR) and it had no side effects that I can recall, I was still running for exercise.
You might want to discuss using a calcium channel blocker to lower blood pressure.
In all my comments are made with no knowledge of "diovan" and its side-effects.
Good luck in finding a way to keep the BP normal, that is an important issue.
Part 1:
I am a 54 year old male. I have high blood pressure and have been on medication for about 2 years now. I started taking Diovan 40 mg about 3 years ago, but my doctor thought it wasn't working so he increased it to 160 mg. After a while, I started feeling dizzy or light headed and We decided to cut down diovan to 80 mg. the dizziness went away for a few monts then it came back and was getting worse. I made a big mistake of stopping the Diovan all together.
Hello,
I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (probable viral or idopathic) in May, with an EF of 16%. Prior to diagnosis my PMD had put me on Diovan HCT, and a medrol dose pack as he was thinking my cough/SOB was from my lungs. The week between seeing him and having the ECHO and stress and being diagnosed I began felta alot better.
My cardio put me on "heart rest" and Coreg 6.25mg BID
In July had another echo, my EF was 40% and my heart had grew smaller (almost normal) .
For three weeks of consistently avoiding gluten the BP has stayed in the healthy range. I diminished the Diovan HCT to nothing and plan in August after more walking and careful diet to have another fasting blood sugar done since I am hoping the high reading was due to the hydroclorothiazine and not belly fat, obesity and a family history of type 2 diabetes. So what's my question?
