Multaq And Heart Rate
(Newest replies first)

I have been on Multaq one week. I do not have reduced a-fib and my heart rate is still around 80 which is normal for me. My doctor made a point of telling me to get my coumidin checked. I could go too high or too low.

Sandra, any elevated heart rate means your heart is working harder, but a level in the 80's is not dangerously high, mine also typically runs that high. Some people just tend to have higher, or lower rates then others. What heart rate does your doctor look for?

Jackie, how are you doing on the Multaq, now? Has there been any change? Are you also taking Coumadin with it?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Multaq as possibly including nausea, headache, heartburn, and diarrhea. You are also advised to avoid eating grapefruit, or drinking the juice, while taking this medication.

Are you also post MI with structural damage to the heart and low ejection/fraction? Just wondering what a safe heartrate is for someone with these issues and if a heartrate in the 80's makes the heart work harder.
