What Causes Rapid Heart Rate While On Propranolol And Verapamil?
I already take prpranolol at night and verapamil was added a month ago. My pulse has been up in the 90 s and 100 s all day. I just took chlorthalidine 25mg to see if that would help the overall blood pressure which was 147/82 pulse 98 at 2:00 and now 147/81 pulse 113. I am almost 71 and blood pressure has been a problem but not late

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tachycardia usually responds to combination of propranolol(beta blocker) and verapamil(Non-dihydropyridine CCB).Go for serum Free T3,Free T4 & TSH to exclude hyperthyroidism and HB% to exclude anemia as initial investigation for persistent tachycardia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
