Question 1

i have tachycardia syndrome that is under relatively good control with beta blocker. i am starting amitriptyline for migraines.  is it safe w/rapid hr?

Accepted Answer

Consult cardiologist: Amitriptyline tends to slow the heart beat but can also cause irregular heart rhythms. If you have a cardiologist i would recommend you speaking with him/ her before you begin therapy with amitriptyline.

Question 2

good afternoon! is it safe to take take a beta blocker and lisinopril with just having the bivalent covid vaccine?

Accepted Answer

: yes

Question 3

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.

Question 4

sometimes, the health care providers especially in er, give complete different or opposite medical advises? for example, my sister has diagnosed tachycardia for which she takes beta blocker.  the condition was diagnosed by the electrophysiologist.  then t

Accepted Answer

I : I agree with you, this definitely happens.  It can depend on the doctor's training, their  practice, what they themselves have seen and diagnosed in the past, and the way they understand the question.  It can also depend on their "frame of reference", or how they are viewing the situation based on their fund of knowledge.

The same thing most likely happens in other professions, such as investment advisors giving conflicting information, or even mechanics.  It is frustrating for patients and their families, but it is good to keep asking the questions and obtaining different opinions.

Question 5

i suffer from health anxiety. im on propranolol 10mg twice a day. recently i was worried about atrial fibrillation, no symptoms. my question if i get an ekg will it show if i have it, even though i take the beta blocker?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, if having an arrhythmia, such as a fib at the time the test is performed that will show as such regardless of meds being chronically taken.Your anxiety will need to be addressed in the interim.

Question 6

safe to take creatine when on a beta blocker?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Creatine oral appears safe if no kidney problems it is excreted in the urine.

Question 7

is it safe to take beta-blocker before general anaesthesia?

Accepted Answer

Beta blocker: Discuss this with your physician. When you are on beta blockers as a regular med your doc will likely want to continue them. Beta blockers for noncardiac patients before/during surgical procedures are presently somewhat controversial and your docs input should be sought for you.

Question 8

can you tell me if atacand (candesartan) and beta blocker is safe to take together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If they're indicated, they're safe to use together.

Question 9

is losanet a beta blocker? and is it safe for diabetic patient?

Accepted Answer

: I believe Losanet is sold in other countries but in US = losartan. This is NOT a beta-blocker. Losartan belongs to the class called Angiotensin Receptor Blocker--the ARB class for hypertension and is OFTEN used in patients with diabetes. I hope this helps/answers your question. Good luck.

Question 10

is it safe to take my beta blocker 12.5 mg if my hr is only 65 before taking? sometimes i miss a day between because i'm afraid it's 2 low already

Accepted Answer

See your Dr: It really depends on why you are taking the medication.  If your HR is 65 it is best not no take the medicine  but as for continuing to take it,  you would need to weigh the risks and the benefits.
