Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Chest Pain
The mental health clinic has recently changed my prescriptions and I think there is a problem. They have me on Paxil (gradually reducing the dosage), Prozac 20mg...dosage to be increased gradually, and Valium 10 mg 3x a day. In addition, I am taking Sotalol 80mg, Crestor 10mg, Lisinopril 2.5 mg, and Xarelto. I m experiencing dizziness upon standing, chest pain, headache, depression.....I don t feel like the meds prescribed by mental health are helping, or there is a bad combination somewhere. Any suggestions?

Hi dear ,
Welcome HCM,
As per your query your wife have dizziness and chest pain. Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition like atrial fibrillation . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay for proper diagnosis , because it can lead to heart failure and rule out causes like stress and anxiety , muscle spasm and nerve dysfunction . Doctor may order certain test like ECG and examine with stethoscope . Doctor may prescribe treatment for restoring your ventricular rate. Beta blockers, like Atenolol, Carvedilol, Propranolol, and others can slow the heart rate. Calcium channel blockers, such as Diltiazem and Verapamil, are another class of drug used to slow the beating of the ventricles . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for eat problem ,which can also cause dizziness or gastroenterologist for acid reflux problem , which can cause chest pain . For now take proper rest and do not exert your body .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
