vivid dreams

[malan]

Hello,
Would anyone know if having vivid dreams after taking Ayurvedic medication for heart failure is something to be worried about? Would it indicate anything about heart function- that it is getting worse or better?
Thanks

Hello Jerry,
Thanks again very much for the post. The medicine I am refering to is a herbal supplement called Arjuna, which is said to be good for the heart in Ayurveda. The days I take this supplement, I seem to have these vivid dreams. It is interesting that Beta Blockers too have a similar effect.
With best wishes,
Malan

I don't recognize the mediation you mention but I know blood pressure and heart rate/rhythm medications in the Beta Blocker family cause vivid dreaming for some.  I do not associate it in any way with a predictor about a heart condition.  

You may get more input via a post in the Heart Disease or Heart Rhythm forums.

I have vivid dreams every night and I take beta blockers, but I am not sure there is any relationship in my case.  Both dreaming (trouble mares I call them) and taking beta blockers goes back so far I can't remember which came first - I'm talking more than 10 years here.
