I take it along with Toprol XL, Tikyson, Paxil 60mg, clonipen what are the chances that one of these or the combination of these drugs be causing my impotence? Tiredness? ## Well impotence can be caused by most blood pressure medications and the Paxil you are taking, so it is hard to pinpoint which one it might be. I suggest speaking to your doctor, you may be able to adjust your medications to try to figure out which is having the worse effect on you and find an alternative that won't cause this problem.

arrythmia drug ## I've just been taken off Metoprolol (50mg) and put on Rhythmol (225mg). I've had 2 occurences of atrial fibrillation in 9 months, with severe dizziness and nausea... I'm a 50 yr-old woman, about 40 lbs. overweght, and never had a [heart] stress test. I read the side effects and warnings on Rhythmol just now, and it says I should be monitored closely. My doctor said to see him in a month. Does this sound like a proper treatment plan?

I am concerned about my mother because she is experiencing ankle edema for 3 months now while taking norvasc. and one time my mother mentioned to me she experienced epistaxis (nosebleed) while walking in the mall. she said she took norvasc that morning before going to the mall and when the nurse checked her bp it was high:160/100.after taking a rest her bp normalized. when she asked her physician then she only prescribed diuretic to subside the edema. should we change her medicine and should we be alarmed by such incidence? ## The edema is a normal side effect, however, the elevated blood pressure and nose bleed are not! I suggest speaking to her doctor.

Does Toprol XL 100 mg contain blood thinners? ## Toprol contains no blood thinners. Tou might be taking too much. I had to rachet up my dose but then down a little. I went from 50 mg to 100. Being too much I split the dose to half am then other 50 @ noon (with food). Eventually went to 200's, split dose, half am then other 100 mg @ noon (with food). New source of med. & prescription (different Dr.) is back to 100's. I take 1 am, other noon, think pills are by different manufacturer, so the slow rellease part of the formmulation is off a bit and I don't now what to do now. I think they release a bit faster, so I'll start with 50 am and an hour later the other 50, then 50 more after noon, etc. Oddly I took them originally for PVCs and it helped. I was in transition of ...

I get the feeling he tells me that so i do not panic however i need to know the truth, so i can take care of myself better than i do right now. Would someone kindly let me know? ## No one can say that you WILL never get a heart attack, it is always possible, no matter what medications you are taking.

hchlorothiazide ## I have my mother in law staying with me and I am trying to find out what hchlorothiazide is. She is also taking taking atenolol. I don't understand why she is taking the two together. Thank You ! Penny Clark ## Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, it helps to lower blood pressure by removing water and salt from the body. Atenolol helps lower blood pressure by slowing down the heart to reduce its workload. It is very common for doctors to prescribe more than one medication to help keep such chronic conditions under better control.
