What Causes Dizziness And Chest Pressure While On Cartia?
I just had my yearly cardiac check up and it was decided to increase my cartia dose to 120mg twice daily (its extended release) and my blood pressure has dropped to 88\52 with a pulse of 73. I am having a tightness in my cheat and am a little dizzy. Should I be concerned? I have an idiopathic arythmia that causes SVTs is why I was started on this medication in the first place.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your dose needs to be titrated as per your Blood pressure to keep it above 100 at all times. Dizziness, tightness may be related to the arrthymias also. Best to get an ECG to rule it out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
