What Causes Heaviness In The Arms While On Losartan And Carvedilol?

My husband is on losartan hctz 100/25, carvedilol 25, amlodipine 10 mg, he was on these meds for several years, then in 2015 got the bright idea to go off them. He told me tonight that he started taking them again a week ago. He said he was feeling like his arms were heavy, he was fatigued all day, and he was just feeling lousy. We are in Michigan, out of network. Suggestions?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.


Beta blockers like Carvedilol can cause such problems while you start them initially later they get fine, this might well be the problem with your husband i would suggest you to wait and see in this situation lets see how things turn out in future hopefully everything should be fine with time as his body gets used to the drug.

If no improvement is there then this should be better checked by the doctor.






I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
