Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could The Low Dosage Of Atenolol And Aspirin Be The Cause For Rise In Heart Beat?
I had 1episode of a-fib in 2009. I take 12 1/2 mg atenolol and 325 mg aspirin daily. My normal heart rate is between 56 and 62. 2 days ago I had a more rapid heartbeat 85 and felt a little nauseous. I took 25 mg of my atenolol instead of the usual 12 1/2 mg, and I took 650 mg aspirin instead of my usual 325mg. I waited 15-20 minutes and my heartbeat went down to 62. It was one o clock in morning Saturday so I couldn t call my dr later that day, and I have been ok since. Should I make appt to see my cardiologist to have him check me?
