Beta Blockers

[NocturnalTerror]

I've always read coming off beta-blockers is a gradual process. I was given beta-blockers, 2, 25 mg Lopressor a day for inappropriate sinus tachycardia, which equals 14 days of medication. Im an avid cardio fan, and was wondering, if i run out of meds and workout, is my risk of heart attack higher?

[SuoBella]

Thanks so much for your channel!

[azamqayyum]

Wonderful explanation, thanks.

[serpentinecreature]

Thank you so much for the info.I am on a beta blocker and have been for 10 years.I hate them,make my ankles swell.

[ed4nurses]

@serpentinecreature Ankle swelling is not a side effect of beta-blockers, but of the underlying disease that is not fully treated. You should consult with your physician about the ankle swelling.

[Nastayba]

i'm a BSN student @IU school of nursing...beta-blockers don't cause ankle swelling. although, i remember my teacher telling me that Calcium Channel blockers can cause ankle swelling, right?

your channel rocks! btw

[serpentinecreature]

@ed4nurses  Thank you for your response.What am I to believe,when ankle swelling is listed as a possible side effect in my accompanying leaflet with my medication? The med that I am taking slows my heart rate to about 60-65 bpm and the ankle swelling begins.When I first wake up in the morning my ankles are normal.After I take the pill (atenolol),the ankles swell.I do not know what else to say.

[tomcat624u]

I USED TO TAKE BETA BLOCKERS, IN MY OPINION IS , THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS DRUG AND I WILL NO LONGER TAKE THEM AT ALL!

[FixedNewsChannel]

@tomcat624u - Shut the fuck up.  Stop spamming this thread with psycho shit.

[tomcat624u]

ADRENILINE!!!!!! FIGHT OT FLIGHT!!!!!!!HAHAHAHA

[tomcat624u]

THIS PERSON IS NOT TEACHING WHERE PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND IT! HE IS RAMBLEING THROUGH THE STUDY. I WOULDN'T WANT HIM AS MY TEACHER

[jnthnbatista]

@tomcat624u its not a lecture, this is for people who understand the mechanism of action already, i guess he is laying out the basics. Pick up a book and afterwars watch the vid, i found it to be useful.

[tomcat624u]

@jnthnbatista I USE TAKE A BETA BLOCKER, I KNOW HOW I WAS AFFECTED! YOU NEED TO PICK UP A BOOK AND EDUCATE YOURSELF!

[tomcat624u]

I THOUHGT BETA BLOCKERS BLOCK THE EFFECTS OF ADRENELINE OFF THE HEART AND ALSO SLOWS THE FIREING OF THE SINUS NODES IN THE HEART ELECTRICAL SYSTEM?

[jnthnbatista]

@tomcat624u there are many types of hypertension drugs digitarcos are different casses class1= sodium blockers class 2= catecolimine blockers, class 3 pottasium blockers, class 4 calcium blockes. As for beta blockers they have afinity of beta receptors (b1 and b2) cardio and bronchio, causing (-) chronotropic influences and bronco contriction. try understanding the basic mechanism of action for each group of hypertensive drugs. I'm sure you will do fine.

[tomcat624u]

@jnthnbatista THANKS  FOR THE ADVICE,BUT I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THIS CLASS OF MEDS. ENOUGH TO KNOW, I'M NOT GONNA TAKE THEM ANY LONGER! HAHAHA HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

[vd088]

REALLY HELPFUL! thank you :)

[tomm5911]

im 15 and want these for severe facial blushing would my dr give them to me?

[day22]

@tomm5911 If by your doctor you mean pediatrician or General Dr they probably wouldn't want to put you on such a dangerous medication at such a young age for a superficial condition. If you see a dermatologist you may have a better shot, yet they probably have a different medication that can help.

thank u david very good presentation

[simsei]

excellent presentation! very useful!

[mrzack888]

all pharamceuticals create side effects. beta blockers are a failure because they cause negative side effects. only used during trauma use, not for long term use. pharmaceuticals destroy your liver and kidneys over time.

[maaniihs]

Your expertise is evident in the simple yet accurate descriptions. Well done!!!!!
