AFIB CAUSING TIGHTNESS THROUGH NECK, HEART & INTO MY HEAD.
Posted , 5 users are following.
MY PROBLEM: I was taking (in morning) 180 mg DILITIAZEM & 25mg Metoprolol. In the evening 25mg of Metoprolol plus Coumadin & a small statin.
SYMPTOMS: Every damn day I was getting this unendurable TIGHTNESS from my heart, neck and into my head. IT WAS A TERRIBLE CONSTRICTIVE FEELING. I wanted to know why I had to endure these terrible feelings. These Heart Drugs were making me feel terrible and worse.
When I looked at what I was taking, I realized there was only ONE SUPER HEART DRUG in the entire array of my meds. That drug was DILITIAZEM & I said to myself this must be the culprit drug which is causing all my terrible constrictive feelings in my head.
I saw my Doctor and told her my views. I NEEDED A CHANGE IN MEDS because DILITIAZEM WAS TOO DAMN CONTROLLING. It was pushing my heart in one direction when my heart wanted to relax and go in a different direction which was causing all the bad tight constricting feelings in my body. I NEEDED RELIEF & QUICKLY.
My Doctor reduced the DILITIAZEM from 180 down to 120 & upped the Metoprolol to 50mg in the morning and remained at 25mg in the evening.
So far - the first three days on these new DILITIAZEM & Metoprolol changes have been miraculous SO FAR? (Knock on Wood).
CONCLUSION
When the body starts fighting back against these controlling heart drugs there are consequential terrible feelings. There must be a balance with these powerful heart drugs. To ingest them in your body with a sledgehammer effect IS TOO DAMN CONTROLLING and will adversely effect your feelings and equilibrium. It is imperative that your Doctor change your meds IN ORDER TO STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE AND ELIMINATING THE TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. Do not be quiet because these effects are unnatural and are caused by these SUPER CONTROLLING SLEDGEHAMMER HEART DRUGS.

If your new medications are going to give you unpleasant side effects, irrespective that they are common well known heart drugs, SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY and force him to make a change in your meds.
If the meds are forcing your heart & blood vessels to go in one direction and your heart & blood vessels want to relax & go in a different direction - SPEAK UP AND GET OFF THE MEDS causing the unpleasant side effects.

METOPROLOL:
Years ago to control the heart rate one doctor had me on 200 to 300mgs of Metoprolol or some other Heart Rate drug. That excessively astronomical high dosage made me almost an invalid. You literally cannot do anything quickly because you are always fatigued & huffing & puffing. IMPOSSIBLE TO CLIMB STAIRS. I have a hard time climbing stairs now with 25mg of metoprolol - let alone 2 to 300mgs.
CONCLUSION
I don't believe a heart rate drug alone will make you feel much better. You probably need something more & preferably a low dose so it doesn't make your blood flow go in directions it doesn't want to go.
Doctors will keep giving patients the same well known pharmaceutical heart drugs but everybody is different and one shoe doesn't fit everyone. We are all unique & different.
If you continue to feel unpleasant with your present drugs - keep trying other meds, because feeling unpleasant IS NOT NATURAL which means the drug(s) ARE NOT WORKING.

CONCLUSION
It is good that you discontinued. If the pill doesn't work get rid of it. I have found over the last few decades MOST of these pills don't really work well. When they do work half ok, sometimes they completely lose their effectiveness and the patient must try something new all over again.
I find that the LEAST CONTROLLING they are the better one will feel.
Thank You For Your Valuable
Feedback.
