Someone I care very much about was diagnosed with a
blockedBlocked tear duct
artery and 9 months ago and was prescribed
tenormin 50mg
dailyDaily combo
Daily multiple for men 50+
Daily multiple for women
Daily multiple for women 50+
Daily multiple vitamins
Daily vite
Daily-vite men's formula
Daily-vite weight control.
His
palpitationsHeart palpitations continued - even increased - and so did his
dosage to 100mg
dailyDaily combo
Daily multiple for men 50+
Daily multiple for women
Daily multiple for women 50+
Daily multiple vitamins
Daily vite
Daily-vite men's formula
Daily-vite weight control . Still on this dosage his
palpitationsHeart palpitations
continue - usually stress induced - but very real. He is experiencing
a great deal of stress right now - some that he cannot control -
much external pressure - and although he is in otherwise great
shape - he runs 10 miles per week or more - he is concerned
about these continuing palpitations. To further complicate the
issue - his father died of heart failure at 37 - this knowledge is
forever looming as he is about to celebrate his 37th birthday .
I have many questions - for someone diagnosed with a blocked artery -
what more if anything can be done by the patient or doctor to
control - remove the blockage ? Will the blockage dissipate with
proper care ? Is the tenormin effective treatment ? Should there
be greater concern due to the history ? What are the effects of
drinking alcohol while on tenormin if any ? I apologize for rambling -
I would just like him to stick around for a while and the more
palpitations I see him experience the more concerned I become .
Thank you very much !
