Very bad joint pain, on carvedilol
Posted , 2 users are following.
My bp stays around 120/80 for most part, I was diagnosed with afib about month ago, I was put on 3.15 mg once daily for high bp and afib, sometimes when I get nervous it will go up to 140/90 but stays around there or lower sometimes 106/60, my question is, is it the beta blocker that may cause the stingy, pinching feeling around my heart and sometimes right side? Sometimes it feels like my heart flutters, and my neck, shoulder, back hurt everyday since taking this, is this normal? It's real bad in mornings until I get to moving around, if it's the med. I can learn to live with it, but could those feelings be something else? That's what scares me, all my test was normal, ekg, echo, heart X-ray, stress test thank you

Yes, it could be something else. You haven't been on the betablockers for very long. It's normal for bp to spike when you're nervous; which is why it can be up when you see the Dr., yet returns to normal when you leave. They're very well aware of this.
What you're feeling could be nerves. I've been experiencing burning, pins/needles in my legs for 2 1/2 years..yes, that long! My neck gets very sore, & the trapezius muscles are sore & tight. They will spasm at times as well. I went to a Chiropractor, since my best friend was coaxing me to do so. The xrays have revealed a lot!!!! It's very common that as we age, the discs in our back can become deteriorated, or we develop bone spurs. These can put pressure on nerves.
I was experiencing light-headedness too. I could walk across the parking lot, enter a building, then as soon as I entered the building, I had to steady myself for a few seconds. Since getting Chiropractic treatment, the light-headedness has been alleviated quite a bit. My Dr. wanted me to wean off the Beta Blocker because a recommendation from an Internal Medicine Physican was that he felt the Beta Blocker was slowing things (as they do). The heart doesn't pump as strongly as when not on beta blockers. I had the feeling it wasn't the pills, but something else. I believe I have proven myself right! It is NOT the pills, but what's going on in my neck & back!!!
It cant hurt to get a Chiropractic opinion. It CAN eliminate having to take pills. Please let us know how you get on.

Don't give up on your treatments!!! Once you start treatments, your body needs time to adjust. It's normal to feel sore or even worse than you did before treatments.
