Question 1

can i take myprol for headache. i took a beta blockers about an hour ago. using the betablocker to break a migraine cycle?

Accepted Answer

Check w Dr: Myprol is a beta blocker. Beta blockers work to prevent migraines by reducing cerebral blood flow and changing the brain's electrical activity. Beta blockers can also act on your heart to slow it down and lower blood pressure. It is always important to check with your prescribing doctor before taking two beta blockers together as they can cause heart and blood pressure problems.

Question 2

i have had migraine headaches for years. i take beta blockers.  for the last year the top of my head hurts whenever i bend over, sneeze or cough. ?

Accepted Answer

Increased pressure: The symptoms you're describing could be related to increased pressure inside your skull. This could be due to many things including a mass, high blood pressure or a vascular malformation. It is definitely something you need to discuss with the doc treating your headaches right away.

Question 3

what else can i do for ice pick headaches other than use a beta-blocker?

Accepted Answer

Oxygen?: Ice-pick headaches are another name for cluster headaches.  Sometimes typical migraine treatment (imitrex, etc) can help.  An old remedy that sometimes works very well is oxygen.  Next time you're having a headache, see if your doctor will administer oxygen.  If it's going to work, it typically works in less than 5-10 minutes.  If so, it can be an inexpensive, easy solution even for home use.

Question 4

i'm on both beta blocker and ccb for elevated hr. ive been getting a lot of headaches since i started. is it a side effect? i'm 17

Accepted Answer

Maybe, but...: At 17 y/o I hope someone is looking more closely for why you have such a high heart rate &amp; not just treating the sx&#x27;s. This would be true if the two are being used for high blood pressure. BB&#x27;s and CCB&#x27;s are both classes of meds. Some of each class can H/A&#x27;s, so it&#x27;s poss. But, uncontrolled BP, too slow a HR or some causes of abn HR or BP in people your age can also cause H/A&#x27;s. Why &amp; which meds?

Question 5

i skipped my beta blocker for a fews nights and i feel blood rushing to my head is that normal? plus i have a bad headache i just starting twice a day

Accepted Answer

Get back: If you missed the dose, take your beta blocker as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose just go back to your regular dose. Beta blockers are good headache and migraine prophylactic medications.
Talk to your PCP for more information.

Question 6

could pheochromocytoma be masked by taking beta blocker. cause dr gave me dilatrend 12.5 due to sudden spikes in bp with headache&it made me k for 4months then i had spikes again he increased the dose to 25&now i'm k. but afraid of masked issues?

Accepted Answer

: Beta blocker would mask symptoms but not the diagnostic test of measuring adrenaline/non-adrenaline metabolites in urine.

Question 7

dr changed my bp meds from beta blocker 12.5mg ciplazar 50, have headache and racing heart after 4 days, normal?

Accepted Answer

Possible : The racing heart is probably due to unleashing your heart after stopping the beta blocker (which can take few days to leave your system), and the headache could be a side effect of the new medication or due to something else, you want to check your blood pressure and heart rate and call your doctor for advice, wish you wellness

Question 8

had headache, earache and watering eyefor 6 months had sinsus ct came back normal. ent says headache is migraine and prescribed beta blocker. correct?

Accepted Answer

Dry eye?: Migraines do not typically cause tearing. However, pain from dry eyes is poorly localized and so dry eyes could potentially cause all 3 symptoms. Try otc artificial tears as a trial.

Question 9

wat do beta blockers do?

Accepted Answer

Beta-blockers: Beta blockers is a class of drugs that affect beta-adrinergic receptors. There are at least two of those that beta-blockers block, known as beta-1 and beta-2. They are found in different body tissues and blocking beta-1 and beta-2 receptors exercises certain effect on the tissues where those are located. Beta-blockers are frequently used in people with high blood pressure, arrhythmia, heart issues.

Question 10

what do beta blockers do?

Accepted Answer

Beta blockers: Beta blockers block beta receptors. Beta receptors are molecular structures on certain cells which when beta agonists attach to them cause effects like increased heart rate and blood pressure. The beta blockers attach and the beta agonists can't hook up and cause the increase in heart rate and blood pressure
