Question 1

since 2years on betablockers.last 3 weeks bp low (105-65).dr said ok.now since 2 days bp on 145-95.hr 60-65bpm.why these oscillations?catheterism ok

Accepted Answer

Artifact-fluctuation: Normal BP varies constantly. Depending on what conditions you check it, you will  find wide variation. Be sure all checks are at complete rest for at least 10 minutes. BP cuff should be at heart level.  Use an average of several readings. You'll still see variability, which is normal, but this will help minimize them. Good luck.

Question 2

could you experience any symptoms with your betablocker medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All medications have potential side effects.  A beta blocker may cause a low blood pressure, which could cause lightheadedness or dizziness.  A dose that is too strong can also cause excessive slowing of your heart rate, which will cause similar symptoms.  Fatigue may also be caused by this type of med.  A beta blocker may also worsen an underlying breathing condition, making you short of breath.

Question 3

side effects from betablockers like propranolol?

Accepted Answer

Many: Potentially many  such as fatigue , weakness , low blood pressure and nightmares.

Question 4

can betablockers be taken before a meeting or gathering to stop someone from blushing?and r there side effects?

Accepted Answer

BB and public speaki: Some find it useful. Talk to your team and get their opinion

Question 5

had cath apr8 said ef down to 45% started 12.5 toprolxl. had cmri may4 and ef up to 55%. can low dose betablocker raise ef 10pts in less than 1 month?

Accepted Answer

Most likely not : LVEF quantification by LV angiogram less accurate, reproducible, user dependent and quality of cath. CMRI clearly shown to be more accurate in assessment of LV, RV strict ion and function. Further your dose of beta blocker so low that it makes it even less likely that the medicine caused an improvement so fast. My guess is cMRI accurate and glad it's the higher #!

Question 6

i was diagnoz.with neurosis lately have heartpalpitations up to 120 bpm. doktor said my heart is ok.shall itake betablocers.im 32?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Palpitations is the word patient use to describe a fluttering sensation in the chest caused by skipped heart beats or rapid heartbeats.  Patients with no heart disease can often experience palpitations. Sometimes they are brought on by
anxiety, fatigue, caffeine and cough and cold medicines.

Beta blockers are sometimes prescribed if the palpitations are annoying or very frequent. SEE bit.ly/1vlj5

Question 7

s. creatine  increased from 1.6 to 2.2 in 6-8 months (was under hyperkalemia at 5.7 constant - due to betablocker, but now at 3.5). type 2 diabatic.?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes longterm: With poor control will cause kidney disease. The answer to your question depends on many factors, particularly if you are indeed a diabetic. How well or poorly controlled it has been, other risk factors for kidney disease like hypertension, age, lipids, smoking status, medications, etc.

Question 8

is prinivil (lisinopril) a betablocker?

Accepted Answer

No: Prinivial is an ace inhibitor, which is another form of blood pressure medicine.  Ace inhibitors are felt to have protective effects in patient s with kidney disease, particularly diabetics.  It is also effective in the treatment of patients with congestive heart failure.

Question 9

is a resting heart beat of 64 good while taking a beta.blocker?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are not dizzy, faint or having shortness of breath or chest symptoms that should be ok.

Question 10

i have no health issues other than anxiety.adrenaline is unbearable all day.should i usebetablocker?would it help?best betablocker for adrenaline?help

Accepted Answer

No beta blocker: No, you need to address the roots of your anxiety. A beta blocker will not help and will give you side effects. I encourage you to seek therapy for anxiety. That is the root of your high heart rate.
