and after evaluating my blood work - which actually came out fine except for a borderline cholesterol 200 and checking me and my BP (which is still high 160/100) he told me that due to having Hypertension since a long time ago - more than 15 years now , i have a somehow a big heart and being so uncontrolled is the main cause of the tachycardia and i cant exactly remember if he said its atrial or venticular tachycardia and he gave me logimax and cordarone 2 pills each everyday , he didnt tell
Since then I have seen a cardiologist who has diagnosed me with POTS because of my constant fainting and fast heart rate upon standing. All of my ECGs and echos are normal. I am wondering if perhaps my disaitonomic problems are caused by something more serious. I mentioned the bradycardia to my current Dr. But he did not seem worried so I dropped it but I don't want one of those serious fainting episodes to happen again and wake up with a pacemaker and lose my license.
for some reason our hearts misfire and this causes a fast heart rate and can cause chest pain. There putting me on meds and I may have to have surgery but I wouldnt worry about that because he said that its rare. In fact most of the time no treatment is neccessary. However it is important to get an appt. w/ a cardiologist, b/c its not good for your heart to work that hard all the time. -Good luck!
My husband is 76 years old. He had a heart catherization recently and was found to have several blocked arteries. He had 2 stents put in 2011. Are the risks too great for my husband at his age with insulin dependent diabetes for 19 years to have open heart surgery?
His cardiologist so far has put him a medication regimen to try to help with his blocked arteries.
The only sympton he has had with the placing of the stents was Chest Pressure, no other symptoms.
It's a medication used for Heart Failure Patients......Comes in pill form or spray......My husband uses it & I'm very careful to watch that it is never around the dogs! Just in Case!!!!
The goal of treatment is to control chest pain and to prevent heart attack. The pain is relieved by a medicine called nitroglycerin (dilates coronary vessels). You have been prescribed norvasc and that should relieve any chest pains. Norvasc is in a group of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It dilates blood vessels and slows the heart to reduce blood pressure and the pain of angina. Calcium channel blockers may be needed long term. Medications may also include beta-blockers.
I had a tilt table test done today. I have had issues with tachycardia and more specifically postural changes affecting my heart rate. When I started the test my heart rate was around 90 bpm, when they tilted me up my heart rate went into the 130's, they did give me 1 nitroglycerin and they said my heart rate went upto 160. During this time they reported my blood pressure as being good and not dropping much during the test.
Stopping Nitroglycerin Patch suddenly may cause serious, possibly life-threatening, WITHDRAWAL symptoms, including chest pain and heart attack. Having a nitrate-free period each day will help prevent tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal problems.

It is recommended to have a free period from a nitrate!. I take sublingual nitro occassionally and nitrate pill 3 times a week for many years.
I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs.
I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low. So I stopped using my nitroglycerin for about 48 hours so I can take the Viagra.
This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. If you use Nitroglycerin Patch without a break and then suddenly stop using it, you may get WITHDRAWAL symptoms. No high bp but may include chest pain, heart attack, or possibly sudden death. Be sure to have a "nitrate-free" period of time each day; this may help prevent dependence and withdrawal problems".

If the heartworm was negative, they were going to start her on nitroglycerin and lasix to bring her heart rate down.
They suggested I take to to an emergency clinic tonight so she can be seen by a cardiologist tomorrow.
If they do administer the nitro and lasix, what more can the E.C. do overnight while waiting for the cardiologist. And furthermore, what more will the cardiologist do after the ultrasound confirms the congestive heart failure, after she is already on the medication?
Myocardial infarction pain is characteristically crushing retrosternal chest pain which may move to arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area or back. This can be squeezing, lasting for 20 minutes. Rest and nitroglycerin may help relieve the pain to some extent. Other symptoms are anxiety, cough, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath etc. your doctor would like to check the cardiac enzymes like troponin and CPK, CPK MB.
It is a beta blocker and its job is to lower your blood pressure and with that lower your heart rate controlling the rhythm of the heart. It may just simply be that you need a medication adjustment and the doc can do that right over the phone when you tell them what is going on. Do not attempt to adjust it yourself or suddenly stop the meds...it can be very very bad for you if you do...the doctor is the navigator with the medications.
I have had angioplasty done 5 months ago and now I am on heart related medicines Nitroglycerin, Clopidogrel+Ecosporin and Atorvastatin. I wear artificial denture. Last month I had surgery for cataract in my eye. My evacuation system is working fine, although sometimes I miss a day or two. I do not take any medication for this and the bowl movement becomes regular on its own. I want to know the reason for white coating on my tongue and the crack in it.
I am scheduled for a thallium stress test, and would like to know how the use of viagra or nitro prior to the test would influance the results.
I have noticed that I sometimes get pain in the center of my chest when my heart beat is fast around 90. Are you sure the pain is there first and then the heart rate increases or does the heart rate increase and then there is pain? It would not hurt to have an echocardiogram to make sure there is nothing abnormal about your heart. I had one done for my daughter when she was 7 because her heart would speed up to an incredible speed and not slow down for hours afterwards.
