Posts Tagged ‘chest pains’
I’m currently taking Toprol, which is a beta-blocker. However this medicine also lowers blood pressure and mine is fine to start with. My pulse runs very high. My doctors became more concerned when I was in his office and my pulse was at 147. He sent me to cardiologist, after many test they were unable to find anything physically wrong with my heart. They put me on the beta-blocker to lower my pulse & help with the chest pains.
The chest pain started about 5 years ago. An echocardiogram was performed, but the could see nothing wrong. I basically give up on finding an answer for the pain. Until the recent doctors visit. Once he sent me to the cardiologist, another echo was performed along with a heart monitor, & stress test. Still no answer as to why the pain. I’m not sure yet if the toprol is working. I was already tired all the time, now I’m exhausted since being on the medicine. I’ve tried to research medicine options to find one that targets pulse rather than both pulse and blood pressure. So far no luck. Any advice or suggestions?
