There are essentially two main things that can go wrong with the heart: the plumbing and the electrics. Many of us are keenly...

My heart rate is irregular. On every third beat the sound of pumping increases. Can this medicine control irregular heart rate? ## Has your doctor instructed you to take it? If so, then you should do so. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Do you always seem to hear your heart pumping?

Been on Sprintec for 2 weeks. Started having irregular heart beats. Dr said to stop taking them. Now I am having to have a series of tests on my heart. ## Have they also checked your blood pressure? These hormonal contraceptives can cause elevated blood pressure in some people that take them and that can cause the irregular heart beat. Learn more oral contraceptive details here. It's also possible that they are just too strong for you. Such irregularities are known to occur in women whose hormones are too high, or are fluctuating. What types of tests are they doing?

low pulse, irregular heart beat ## I take both Lisinopril (10 mg daily) and Metoprolol (50 mg daily. 1/2 AM & 1/2 PM) These pills look a lot alike and it is possible to get them mixed up if not cautious. I did this about three times in a row last week. OOPS. But I'm still here and don't feel any side effects. I will be more careful in the future. Just thought I'd post this. ## i switched my metoprolol by mylan and my lisinopril by mylan to metoprolol by greenstone and my lisinopril by sandoz because it was cheaper but it sent me to the hospital. once arriving at the hospital they took my blood and said that i had a heart attack.. it was scary because i didnt feel right at all after i started takeing the generic forms. now im paying more for mylan but i feel as good as i ...

I am a HCM patient with irregular heart beat, age 43Ys, M. I had taken amidarone 200mg (1+0+0) with Concor 5mg for 3ys. 6month ago Amio was stopped due to side effects. My thyroid function test was not normal. It was hyper (TSH=0). After stopping Amiodarone I hve been taking Concor 5mg twice a day (5mg+0+5mg). Irregular heart beat was more or less there with a tollerance level, also my doctor told that recent Holter report/ECG doesn't show any dangerous types of irregulat beats. Recently my Thyroid test is normal (TSH=3.71) though I didn't take any med for this as suggested by my Doc. Now he wants to go back again with Amiodarone200mg once daily +Conconr 5mg once daily, and asked my opinion abt this. Is it ok to go back again with Amidarone? Incase (if) any Lungs prob due to Ami...

I have been told i have a mild irregular heart beat and leakage. I have been give this medicine for the treatment of a bone spur in my neck. I am a little concern about the side affects to the heart. ## Hello, Tracy! How are you? I would suggest checking with your cardiologist, before taking it, to be safe. It doesn't usually cause as many cardiac related side effects as other steroids, but much of it really depends on your overall health, average heart rate and etc. Are you on any other medications?

How do I take control when Propolol causes irregular heart beat,dizziness,very low diastolic Bp and slow pulse and your MD refuses to take you off the med and you don't want to have a heart attact going off it? ## Hi, Ruth! If the Propranolol is causing you that many problems and your doctor won't help, then I have to say that it's time to get a new doctor. You aren't obligated to keep seeing him anymore than he is obligated to keep seeing you. You are free to leave at any time. You don't even have to tell him ahead of time, you can keep him on the back burner, so you still have this medication for now, while you start looking for another doctor. If you find one, then you can have your records transferred. Is there anything else I can help with?

Some twelve months ago I began to have uncomfortable heart arrhythmias. My heart would go into a slow irregular heart beat. After having nuclear stress testing done to check for coronary artery blockage nothing was found. I did my own research and eventually learned that my high blood pressure medicine at the time, Mycardis, was the culprit. I searched a long while before finding this info as a possible side affect to this med. One lesson I learned here is that even though you may have been taking your med for many months, negative side affects are still a reality given time.

Had been taking metoprolol xl 25 mg once daily for irregular heart beat for years without issue. Due to recent heart palpitations my dr prescribed metoprolol tartrate 50 mg twice daily. Due to a gluten sensitivity I have had several adverse stomach pains nausea etc from several pharmaceutical companies and am reluctant to keep trying different pharmaceutical companies. Have asked my dr to place me back on my metoprolol and he agreed and prescribed xl 25mg twice daily. What concerns me are the two metoprolol 25mg xl that I am now taking equivalent to the two metoprolol 50 mg twice daily. I have only been on the metoprolol xl 25 mg for a few days but I have experienced a few along with a feeling in my stomach that i am hungry. My pharmacist did infirm me that she actually spoke to my card...

I am allergic to sulpha and took a mild dose of percoset and had alarming irregular heart beat....same symptom I had with other drug containing sulpha. does percoset have sulpha as an ingredient in it's makeup? ## Aside from the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, the name brand Percocet contains the following inactive ingredients: Colloidial Silicon Dioxide, Croscarmellose sodium, Crospovidone, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Povidone, Pregelatinized corn starch and Stearic Acid, as well as a coloring agent. So, no there are no Sulfa ingredients in the name brand product. However, the ingredients could differ if the one you took was a generic. In addition, it is always possible that the reaction you had was due to the Oxycodone in this, which is a narcotic. It has been know...

Lopressor 25mg I have been on Lopressor 25mg for about 6 months, prescribed by my cardiologist for irregular heart beat and palpitations. I take it right before bed with a glass of water. More nights than not I wake up many time thru the night and lately I have been having trouble falling asleep. My heart beats irregularly when I lay down but if I get up and sit in a chair all is well. I would like to change the time I take the pill from night to morning. Is it safe to skip my nighttime dose and take it the next morning instead? Thanks in advance for your help. ## Hello, Harvey! How are you? I would suggest checking with your doctor, before making a change. It sounds like this medication just isn't lasting you a full 24 hours, so something needs adjusted. Were you originally instruc...

My doctor started me on this med. What are the side effects and benefits? They recently found I had an irregular heart beat.
