Moderate Regurgitations and PACs,stress, high BP

by Stephies_30, Dec 16, 2008 03:07PM
Hi there. I recently had a dobutamine echo due to chest pains and palpitations.  I have started having high BP and have been on toprol for that. The results of the echo (read by my internal med doc) states that I have moderate mitral valve regurgitation. Ok.. I know that can be fine for a long time. But they also said that I have a junctional rthym issue, with PAC's during stress. My blood pressure has spiked to 186/110 and remained at least 150/100. This even after being on Benacar AND toprol. She has now doubled my toprol to 50mg and benicar is at 20. per day. She is obviosuly worried more about my high bp than anything, so doesnt suggest i see a heart doc as of yet. She also put me on seroquel to mellow my body out...? AND has given my lorazepam for anxiety to not get my heart going...

Does this sound like a good plan? I am tired all of the time, and now REALLY tired due to the seroquel. She thinks that all these meds combined will help my bp and therefore solve the rythm PAC issue. Can someone please give an opinion, and now I am just struggling to make it to work everyday!
