    Verapmil and premature beats

    I might be way off base, but something I have been conciously aware of. When I wake up in the morning, I feel great...don't feel any extra beats, etc. My heart is nice and slow and steady... I take my verapamil dose @ 10:30 a.m. every day. A half hour after I take it, I start to feel funny beats...they come and go during the day and notice them at night. Sometimes I wonder if your heart doesn't like some meds and reacts that way? or is it normal for verapamil to do this? When I think I have the answers to questions I had, more come up

    Re: Verapmil and premature beats

    Cynthia, If you think it is related to your Verapamil, trust yourself and mention it to your cardiologist. Have you tried taking your Verapamil an hour earlier to see if the symptoms start earlier? It may take some detective wk on your part, but if you can pin it down, it will be worth it. Good luck, Linda

      Hello and Good Morning
      I too am on Verapamil 120mg for about 6 days now. I am also getting irregular heart beats. I feel my heart beating much more than I have before when I was on Atenenol 12.5 mg. I'm much more wrary of myself these days too. I feel flutters about every 20 mins or so.
      My Dr. from Tufts New England Med Ctr told me that any side effect is not acceptable that there are too many other meds to try to go through side effects. It is also killing my stomach.
      Good luck in getting this under control Cynthia. Please keep us informed on your progress, I'll be intrested to know if your Dr. changes your meds.
      I am calling my Dr. today to discus my options.
      Have a wonderful Thursday
      Marlene

        Hello again,
        Premature beats – is that young beats? I often have young breath – I know because it comes in short pants.

        Actually, I have a couple of websites for you that I hope you find interesting.
