I meant to say Lasix... instead of Lanoxin... Uggghh too many meds to keep track of!!!
Thanks for your reply. I am hoping to get a doctor reply on here also as I would be curious to see what they have to say. I have never heard the figure before that 25% of people with cardiomyopathy get better... how is your friend doing? Again, thanks for taking the time to reply!
He was then discharged and is now recovering at home. He was taking Lanoxin and diuretics and did not have any swelling or breathlessness. So after 3 months the doctor stopped these medications (without checking the EF).
He went for his checkup this month (9 months after surgery) and his echo shows an EF of 40%. The doctor also mentions "Mild LV Dysfunction". So now the doctor has put him back on Lanoxin and diuretics. Is this heart failure where the prognosis is poor?
The second time I experienced SVT was in 2007, again my Dr gave me Lanoxin. Lanoxin was only prescribed when ever i have SVT. This 2009, I had several SVTs. In Sept 2009, my Dr. suggested to hv my regular ECG, CBC and my first time to undergo a 2D Echo with Doppler. My BP is 90/60. All ok, except for my low rbc ct in CBC. My Dr told me that low rbc cause lack of oxygen that is the reason i had SVT. She prescribed Ferrous Sulfates as source of my iron for blood oxygen.
Is your uncle taking Lanoxin (heart medication)? Lanoxin has shown to increase the pumping strength. My father had a weak heart beat and after being on Lanoxin for about 10 years now, he's heart beat is strong (very strong per taking his pulse). Ask your uncle's doctor about Lanoxin.

My Question:
Seemed better on previous medication regime: Norvasc, Lanoxin, Spironolactone, Levothyroxine.
Worse on current medication regime: Metoprolol, Benazepril, Isorb Mono Tab, Spironolactone, Simvastatin, Levothyroxine.
He currently takes lasix, aldactone and coumadin. Also, I researched Lanoxin and that sounds like it may be a drug suitable for him. Any advice you may have would be great thanks.
I have been told over years, I have heart murmur, leaking valve, or not so, but have been on Lanoxin for over 20 years and finally switched to Verapamil as Toprol gave me nightmares or vivid dreams for two months. I recently developed a steady low weakening feeling of pain in my left arm and tingling in left hand and foot as well. I've experience these feelings before and went away, but now it is staying with me for last 3 months.
My mother is on coreg .325 and docs just took her off of lanoxin hoping that is causing platelet drop, they aren't sure yet. today heart rate at 142 bpm at rest. All this started happening feb 21. before that heart rate around 100. The problem with more coreg or other beta blockers is the fact her bp too low 96 over 50 the majority of the time.
I am soo scared for her, lanoxin prevents heart attack yet it could be the cause of very low platelets and she could bleed to death. catch 22.
Some of the symptoms you note are common with taking Toprol XL, expecially in the beginning. Sounds like it did deliver some of the intended benefits, lower blood pressure, lower HR. I have no idea how the urinary problem relates.
What is her dosage? To start I'd expect it to be 50 mg or less.
i know that my daughters cardiologist at the univ of mich had told us when they put her on lanoxin that the risks of amiodarone in her case made her not a good candidate for it. i do know that many have taken it for short periods and it seemed to help, but i believe it generally not taken long term as lanoxin or digoxin is hope my little bit helps and good luck....... dawn
p.s.
Last October I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy with the ejection fraction of 20% ( I am 63 years young). In December I had a Bi-V ICD inserted. Yesterday I had a MUGA test done and my ejection fraction has increased to 46%. Does this mean that my enlarged heart could be reducing in size or just that the ICD and medication is working? I had a lot of stress before my diagnosis and have not worked since.

Symptom onset is usually rapid, often occurring within minutes after self-poisoning or a change in medication. Serotonin syndrome encompasses a wide range of clinical findings. Mild symptoms may only consist of tachycardia, shivering, diaphoresis (sweating), mydriasis (dilated pupils), myoclonus (intermittent tremor or twitching), as well as overresponsive reflexes.
Can you check her medicine bottle to see if any are missing? If it's empty and should'nt be, then you have to call an ambulance. They can check her out right at your home.
He ordered an echo to see if my EF was normal or low to determine what kind of treatment I can have. I left hospital before the echo results were given to my Doc so I have to wait until my next appt in three weeks time.
I have had atrial tachycardia in the past (went away as I grew older) and then occasional ectopic beats which was treated with Lanoxin which was ceased when my blood pressure dropped too low.
If you consume and ungodly amount of them regularly you could have worse withdrawals and have flu like symptoms. Slowly weaning yourself off them over a week or cold turkey is up to you. It's great that you recognize you have a bit of an issue. It's nothing to feel bad about. There are also many free programs depending on where you live. Maybe speaking speaking to an addiction counselor would be best for you.
My blood pressure is high 160/94 and doc prescribed an ACE inhib for me. How will this effect my PVC/PAC's? Help or hurt? Right now I take lanoxin .25 for PVCs. HBP runs in the family so I was doomed anyway.
