My doctor just recommend a new med called nebivolol (bystolic) to me thst im pretty hesitant to try as propranolol does help Most out of what ive tried. The nebivolol bystolic didnt get the besr reviews from what ive seen. thats just my experiences and what things have worked and not worked for me on an individual basis.
I feel some of my pvcs are caused by anxiety,some by exercise or increase in working out and some by large meals.
Hi GranRon-
I just started taking bystolic about two weeks ago. While I'm on a very low dose (2.5mg/day), it still seems to be pretty effective in keeping me out of A-fib. I've been on metoprolol before, and had some awful side effects with that one, but the bystolic seems to tame those down quite a bit for me. I've only had two instances in which I could tell I was experiencing some slight side effects (dizziness, slight shortness of breath, pressure).
I have read about implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and a procedure called catheter ablation and would be keen to hear if these might be potential solutions or how I could find out if he was suitable. Please help as I really want him to have a chance at alternatives to this half life he is currently lost in. Thank you.
I am considering to shift her to nebivolol only but 5 mg once a day is not controlling the blood pressure well. My question is can nebivolol be taken twice a day in 2.5 mg doses, I am unable to find any medical study using nebivolol twice a day all recommend single dose of 5mg as starting dose, have any of you have experience with taking nebivolol twice a day.
Thus, nebivolol is, with regard to hemodynamic and metabolic properties, similar to carvedilol, although the two act slightly differently — carvedilol is a non-cardioselective beta 1, beta 2, and alpha-receptor blocker, whereas nebivolol is highly cardioselective (blocking beta 1 receptors only) and achieving vasodilatory properties by nitric-oxide release, he added."
Apparently is was just officially appvoved for use in the United States by the FDA.
I had about 10 episodes of 140 BPN over ten years with no more complications than emergency room trips for conversion or conversion at home with propafenone. My particular type was atrial flutter which appears to have been cured by ablation a little over a year ago. If your heart is otherwise healthy it is a condition that can be managed (but certainly no enjoyed!) https://en.wikipedia.
My doctor is recommending cardiac conversion. I do not want to do an invasive procedure if possible. Is there a non invasive option for me?
After my second ever episode of fast atrial fibrillation, resolved through electric shock, my cardiologist prescribed 100mg flecaine and 2.5mg nebivolol to be taken every day. This as a preventive measure.
I have read on the medicine info notice that these two medicines should not be taken together. My cardiologist states that they are routinely prescribed together by cardiologists these days.
I have never taken any heart drug, and feel a bit concerned. Can anyone shed some light on this?
I had my first and only atrial fib conversion last month. I had a large dinner and went to lay down at 10 pm when I flipped over to my left side and I felt the flutter. I estimate it was >180 bpm. I laid flat and used vagal maneuvers to get it to the 140's. I went to the ER and was in aib w/ rvr. 140-180's. It took 22 hours to break into a SR and only after a sneezing fit.
My question is for an isolated AFIB that was vagally triggered why should someone have to take metoprolol?
My cardiologist subbed 5 mg Nebivolol for the Amlodipine due to what he described as exercise-related hypertension. I took this medication for a week and experienced a range of unpleasant side effects, including exhaustion, significant depression and reduced heart rate (mid-60s, compared with my normal mid-80s).
I've been off the Nebivolol for five days, but I'm still experiencing these side effects. My heart rate has only come back to about 67-68.
The only thing I can figure out, there might have have been some minor damage to my voice box during surgery, but I talk fine. If it is my medications. I am going to have to make a decision whether to increase my stoke risk or keep coughing and hacking. I don't really know how much Pradaxa reduces the stroke risk. I read 20% on the web but that seems very low but the article didn't go into any details it was just an abstract.
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.
The same thing happened i was opening my door and my heart started to beat really rapidly but again as soon as i went to hospital it went normal again.Last year i went to see an cardiologist.She said to make some blood test.,Tyroid test/Everything was normal except Triglicerides( they were 650 really high),my thyroid was ok /I started taking lypathil for my triglicerides and they went normal almost 220 for the first mounth.
I used Propafenone (not sure about the spelling either) for a number of years to keep me out of atrial fibrillation following electrocardio conversion. I was in my late 50s to mid 60s and while I had to be converted a few more times the drug seemed to extend my periods of normal sinus rhythm and I was still a runner and working 60 hours a week - I did not have any side effect problems.
The propafenone is a generic and not very expensive, and I have used the patent covered Ryhtmol as well.
I am too scared to take the new med as I read 5 mg is equivalent to Metoprolol 100mg. I am scared to take in the night due to the fear of hypotension and low pulse rate. But the doc assured that nothing would happen but I am too scared to take an initial dose of 5mg Bisoprolol straightaway....Want all you peoples help in this regard and advice me whether I could go ahead with Bisoprolol 5mg without any fear....Thanks in advance...
Bystolic (Nebivolol) is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It is in a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure.
If you mean that you are taking Bystolic and it is causing you pain....and according to PCP and literate it should not....I agree with you. Our systems can respond differently then others do to medications. We are all different.
5 cm and needs to be repaired, so they are going to also do the aortic aneurysm. They are hoping to be able to do this as an EVAR. My question is I guess if they have to convert to open repair, how much a risk is presented by his past surgery and heart problems? He also has had a MI prior to surgery and possibly one before that he was unaware of. Last stress test was fine, no enlargement of his heart and shortly after surgery his ejection fraction was at 45%.
