Hi everyone,
I have mentioned in the past that my meds have been changed from metroprolol to bisoprolol and now to diltiazem. It has been 19 days since I started the medicine and believe me, being lightheaded plus headaches to go with it did not sit very well with me. I have to wait this long to report it (well, with lots of allergies..I have to know which one I'm reacting to)...today was the worst because during my morning walk, my eyes started to see dark spots?????
So I called and was told to reduce the dose from 240mg to 120mg..so another experiment to start tomorrow.....hmmmm
Glad to say that within those 19 days, I believed I only had palpitations once....still low BP but ok...HR ok...what else can I ask for? I asked to adjust my pm to a lower setting (50) and I'm feeling just fine with it...I only notice that I'm sleeping a lot lately..sometimes, I just crashed to my couch right after I got home from work (I keep telling myself that I'm just making up for it since I'm normally up by 4am for my early morning shift)
I managed to go a little bit more with my exercise....sit ups..men it has been a long time!!!!...it felt good!
Hope everyone is feeling better...I'm getting there!
