Avatar n tn Could you add Lisinopril and Atenolol to the Blood Pressure Tracker? The category of ACE inhibitors is too general since there are so many.
Avatar f tn Lisinopril can cause nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, drowsiness, nasal congestion and sexual dysfunction. Lisinopril should be stopped if there are symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction including feelings of swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and hives occasionally occur. Rarely, lisinopril may cause a drop in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Avatar n tn Is Atenolol a good option for treating Angina I am currently being treated for high blood pressure and recently my cardioligist prescribed Atenolol 25 mg in the morning because of chest pains I was having and my blood pressure was not lowering enough
Avatar m tn well, Ive posted on here a few times, and everyone has been helpful, so here goes again. I have been put on atenolol 2xday @25mgs each. I dont drink, smoke, or stay up late, but the doc says that I have a mild cardiac wall thickening, and a mildly regurgitating aortic valve, so I take the atenolol and 10mg of lisinopril per day with a baby asprin. Here is the issue: i take one in the morning at 7 and at night at 7.
Avatar n tn t mention your age, if you smoke, drink coffee, etc, I can tell you that I have been struggling with high bp for 30 years and it is finally under control within the past year (150mg atenolol, 10mg Lisinopril, and several other heart medications) You should stay away from caffeine and call your Dr if you're that concerned or go to the ER. But, blood pressure control is a tricky business and if they go to far the other way, you'll find yourself with extreme tirednes and syncope...
Avatar m tn Beta blockers definitely have an effect on heart rate. I was started on 2.5mg three years ago, and when my angina worsened I was told to double this to 5mg. I ended up in hospital because my heart rate dropped to 28, 25 when asleep setting off all the alarms. Each person can tolerate different levels of medications, so getting the balance right is important. I know in cardiac rehabilitation there were some people with heart rates between 45-50, much lower than my 68.
Avatar n tn Healthy 150 lb age 61, shaken when I had 1st recorded AFib Nov ’07 (after dental surgery) causing me to go on 25 mg. Atenolol (taken late evening) & aspirin ( already on Lisinopril keeping BP under 140/80). Appears Atenolol not good . All Dec light headed & had occasional Afib. Jan fainted one morning after awakin w/ low BP 90/58 after a night of AFib episode ( I was urinating frequently). Hindsight: totally stressed out. After the fainting, cardio ruled out plumbing/ valve.
Avatar f tn I am currently on Lisinopril to keep my BP down (I have Cardiomyopathy after going into CHF from a virus that went to my heart). I have had a cough which is a side effect of Lisinopril. My doctor just gave me a RX for Losartan but this med is more expensive by quite a bit. I haven't had any other problems with Lisinopril besides the cough and I am scared to change meds and take the chance of worse side effects.
1221269 tn?1267588769 They then told me they thought the Lisinopril was to blame. They took me off Lisinopril and put me on Atenolol. The Atenolol (over the course of a couple of weeks) lowered my pulse rate too much and started causing my heart rate to become irregular. I ended up back in the hospital where they took me off of the Atenolol and put me on Hydrochlorithiazide. Unfortunately, it too seems to be disagreeing with me, and we still haven't figured out what the cause of it all is.
Avatar n tn I have heard that Lisinopril can cause folks to have headaches until they become accoustomed to it, but not what you're dealing with. Which could be a very real side effect of this med...........just because I've never heard of it, doesn't mean others haven't. My best advice and probably what you will hear on this forum, is to get back with your doctor and tell him/her what is happening. It may not be the med for you!
Avatar m tn I am on 25 mg atenolol daily for pvc's/pac's. I still have them on 25mg. not as many, but they are still strong and come back to back. I am also on 5mg lisinopril for a mild cardiac wall thickening. Shouldn't a beta blocker stop these things? Doc says that he could raise the dose, but my pulse will vary from 55-69 resting on the atenolol at 25mgs. I don't want it any lower. Suggestions?
Avatar f tn I am on atenolol twice a day, alos 80mg;. lipitor,furosomide and lisinopril.
Avatar m tn I was advised by my doctor to change from 25 mg (once per day) Atenolol for moderate Hypertension (which was not reducing BP well) to Lisinopril (5mg). I was on 25 mg once a day of Atenolol. Through some miscommunication with my Doctor, I didn't correctly understand that I was to reduce dosage gradually, so I went pretty well straight off it and started experiencing arrhythmias...not really so much fast heart beat, but irregular (PVC's?, ectopic beats?
341655 tn?1240368839 My cardio recently added 2 new blood pressure meds to my other 2, verapamil and hctz(diuretic) he added lisinopril and coreg, i've noticed at night when i take my bp, my pulse runs in the 40-50's while resting,not resting its about 65, after having a month straight of very high pulse rates of 160+ i'm a little concerned about it being low, i have previously had problems with my potassium and that causing irregular HB...how low is to low?
Avatar n tn Initially I was told to add 25 MG of Atenolol at night (and aspirin) to my existing regimen of 30 Mg of Lisinopril (for moderately high BP). About 45 days into taking these medicines my blood pressure was in general overal lower than it had been (average now say 122/71) and pulse at average 50 BUT early in the mornings BP readings were getting low -- 110/60. Jan 1 and Jan 8 woke up with low BP (90/58) and AFib (was peeing all night too) and fainted. Put in the hospital and put on Coumidin.
Avatar f tn s for a check up, my blood pressure was normal, heart rate 70 beats per minute, so he reduced my already-lowest-dose-for-a-pill BP medicine (lisinopril/hydrochlorthiazide ), with a recheck of my BP this week. So this week, slightly higher (normal range) blood pressure but a heart rate at 44 beats per minute!!
Avatar n tn Three weeks ago, my BP began to record in the 240/140 to 190/130ish everyday and that's with Beta Blocker pills. I do get severe and intense stomach distress. No other symptoms. What could cause such an extremely high BP? Was put on Lisinopril -an ACE inhibitor - but shouldn't dr be trying to discover WHY my BP has shot up so high?
Avatar m tn I am on 3 different meds. Lisinopril HCtZ 40-25, Atenolol 25mg and terazosin 4mg. Additionally, my heart rate which has always been around 60 has dropped and is sometimes as low as 47. I have a flushed feeling in my face and an occassional dull headache. I walk several days a week 2-3 miles with no problems. My Dr. is puzzled. I have had numerous tests of urine blood and even CT scan but everything tests negative or normal. I am a 61 year old male about 25 lbs over weight.
Avatar f tn Go to the drug manufacturer website. Many of these companies have programs to provide meds to those with limited means at little or no charge. Ranexa is made by Gilead Sciences and Plavix by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Start there, if that doesn't work ask your doctor for other resources, they should be able to help.
Avatar n tn While the AFib had stopped by the time I got to ER, there they prescribed 25mg of atenolol to be taken at night (along with the 30 mg of Lisinopril I was already taking to keep my BP under control). A few days later my Primary added one full aspirin to my daily regimen. As December wore on I noticed my BP readings were getting lower and lower when I first woke up in the morning. Also, I had 5-8 minor Afib "feelings" that month as well.
