I have hac low potassium. Now I take 20mg potassium,, 25 Atenolol ,5/20 Lotrel, 20mg spironolactone every
morning and just the 25atenolol and 5/10Lotrel at night. I seem to be having a lot of skipped beats since I have been on this regimen the past month. Yhay's the only symptom as I have plenty of enetgy. I am a 67 year old male. Thank you.

it sounds like one of your medications could be the root cause, perhaps
allergic reaction ? or you may need to change one to diffrent type.
its best to see your Doctor about this problem. he may adjust up or down on one of the medications your on , or change the meds ? as well
hopefully he can do blood test ,to see how high or low your potassium levels are. I was put on spironolactone - along with 2 other meds as well
it caused me a lot of problems! its not for everyone !!! im off it now..
and taking only 2 meds at this time !
how long have you been on these medications ?
well good luck to you,
good luck!
