Bisoprolol :: Still Taking - Tired And Weight Gain?

After comments I read on here I went to my Doctor (I live in Spain) and asked why I was actually taking Bisoprolol, i have been taking 2.5 mg a day since Dec 2012, I had a stroke in November 2011, I take statins and sintrome *spanish warfrin*  The only reason he gave me bisoprolol is because I told him I was slightly breathless walking up hills, I do not have high blood pressure but I do have a slight irregular heart beat........which may have caused my stroke.........they are not sure........I used to smoke and drink however which also did not help!

If I needed the Bisoprolol, why did the consultant not give it to me in 2011? when I asked the Dr he said it is to prevent another stroke, not to cure anything but I should continue taking.it.......I have not felt any advantage taking the drug and like many people on here feel more tired and have gained weight as I have little energy to do anything. Not sure what to do really, I am frightened to stop taking it, so going to try taking in the evenings and see if less tired.

I am 45 & take generic Viagra 50 or 100 I bought from my last trip to Thailand. I noticed:

1.when I take it after food, all I get is symptoms of Viagra (little headache, etc.) except erection !!! WHY?

2.When I have empty stomach, I may get erection after 1 hour, some other times after 3-4 hours. I can not understand why? This make it difficult for me to determine when to have sex with my partner since it is random like this

3.Sometimes erection is hard and sometimes it is just OK!

Prinzmetal's Angina - A Benign Condition?

Does anyone have information about this type of angina? Mine is quickly getting more aggressive in nature and my most recent episode two days ago caused me to nearly pass out with the pain. I do know that it is caused by a spasm and it is generally considered a benign condition, but it is not feeling that way anymore. Please share any real knowledge you may have on this topic with me. I really hate to call the emergency services if there is something else I can do to alleviate my pain beyond using my nitroglycerine spray and chewing the aspirin.

Angina Or What? Nitro And Aspirin Not Working

I am 52 yrs old, I currently have 5 stents placed over the past 5 years. I still suffer angina a lot. Goes in bouts, sometimes numerous times a day and some days not at all. Monday morning I was woken at 3 am with bad chest pain. I laid there for a few minutes to see if it would ease. Finally got up and took a nitro. It didn't help, over the next 3 hours I took 7 nitro and chewed 3 baby aspirin, all to no avail. Off to the ER, EKG was fine, blood work showed no heart attack, but they wheeled me into the cath lab again. My cardiologist performed the procedure and found nothing out of sorts. I just don't know what to do, I take a ton of drugs, am diabetic also, but still suffer chest pain much too often. Am so limited on what I can do physically because of this.

L-arginine Helps Prinzmetal Angina?

I have Prinzmetal angina.  My first attack was when I was 44 but not diagnosed until I was 51.  I just recently found out i have eNOS T786C mutation which most likely is causing the vasospasm.  I'm curious if anyone else has been diagnosed with this mutation.  A doctor that is doing research on Prinzmetal patients recommends taking L-arginine.  Anyone else take this supplement?  If so has it helped?  I have never had an EKG during an attack and was wondering if ST segment elevation is ALWAYS present on an EKG during spasm?

Bisoprolol :: Safe To Exercise ?

After a mild episode of unstable angina I had a single stent inserted in 2010. Since then I take the usual quartet of ramipril (2.5 mg), bisoprolol (2.5 mg), aspirin and simvastatin. I started Phase 4 rehab in January 2011 and now go to the Gym 2/3 times a week. The man aerobic component is a 20 minute row. I was advised not to allow my heart rate to exceed 75% of [220 -73 (my age) -30 = ] 97 but as I became fitter the average HR during rowing is 105 and the peak 111-113.

I feel fine, have never experienced any cardiac symptoms and the HR drops below 80 within 60 secs of stopping.

Am I taking a big risk? If not are there guidelines on HR during exercise for people like me?

I also have Parkinson's (no tremor) and exercise is very helpful in maintaining lung function and muscular tone so I have two reasons for exercising!

Bisoprolol :: SVT Due To Lifestyle Or Congenital?

Hi all,

about 4 weeks ago I was at our caravan with my family. At quarter to one in the morning, I started sweating profusely; tingling in arms and my heart was pacing very fast. I had no choice but to call an ambulance. On the ambulance they queried SVT and AF??

once at a and e they gave me Adenosine, which was awful. They then gave me another drug IV. After 7 hours! My heartbeat returned to a much more acceptable beat. I was then discharged on 10 mg Bisoprolol. Subsequent visits to hospital with "apparent" heart complaints and a combination of other physical problems a number of individuals have said that they thought 10mg was a bit on the high side?

since then I have developed an unwanted byproduct. I believe to be suffering from some sort of anxiety disorder. I don't believe I'm suffering from any side effects - apart from a slow pulse of 48, which my partner is somewhat concerned about, but I believe that is a result of the bisoprolol. I do feel a little "heavy" and "non energetic" but other than that just a feeling of being a little scared.

i get my 24hour ECG tape next Friday and hopefully an appointment with the cardiologist for a definitive diagnosis.

what I want to know is, is SVT a result of lifestyle and can I do something about it or is a congenital problem and there's nothing I can do about it and it was going to happen anyway.

Angina ? Sharp Pain In The Middle Of Chest

I am a female that is 23 and I am quite overweight (BMI around 47). I would like to know if I am experiencing angina or if it could be something else. My stomach doctor has ruled out a hiatal hernia. I've also had EKGs and two heart ultrasounds and they were all fine.

So the symptom I'm having is just sharp pain in the middle of my chest. It comes and goes, but is frequent. I've been having this since I woke up about 11am and it is 4:30p now. I've not felt right all day. I've been to sleep twice since I woke up and still it is happening. I've been having a little trouble breathing as well. My forehead felt weird this morning too. I couldn't describe how it felt to my mother.

There is a clinic nearby and I don't know whether I should go to it. Every time they do a test on me for anything, it is always negative. I just don't want to make them waste their time or make myself look like a fool/hypochondriac.
