I had the Ross procedure on August 8th and am continuing to do the walking three times a day as instructed in the hospital.
I have lightheaded spells very often when standing up. And yesterday I has an extream dizzy spell when going for my
eveningEvening primrose
Evening primrose oil walk with my son. I am not sure if any of this is
normalNormal saline flush, but I did call my doc and left a message for him. I also have spells of
blurredVision problems vision and a sensation of darkness surrounding my eyes.
The following are the meds I am on, I think they may have something to do with this:
Altace 2.5 mg one per day
PrilosecPrilosec
Prilosec otc 20mg one per day
MetoprololMetoprolol
Metoprolol succinate er
Metoprolol tartrate
Metoprolol-hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg one 2x per day
Restoril 15mg one or two per day at bedtime (stopped last night)
Darvocet-N100 one or two every 4 to 6 hours as needed ( haven't taken any since yesterday at 11am--> took it more for the back pain I was having than the pain associated with the open heart surgery.)
I appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions.
I have been told that beta blockers can cause all of these symptoms, is that correct?
Again, thanks;
