What Is The Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate?

Concerta causes my heart rate to increase to 100-120bpm resting, but it helps me out a lot, is there another medication that has similar pros, but won t increase my heart rate? Don t laugh, but I also have sexual issues on it (e.g. very difficult to stay hard). Any help would be appreciated

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that all drugs of this group lead to increased heart rate and blood pressure values.

Unfortunately, there is no drug without these adverse effects, as their action is by stimulating the central nervous system.

Coming to this point, I would recommend trying to reduce the dose of Concerta and see if your situation improves.

I would also recommend regular physical activity, which can help improve your mental performance, without the need of concerta.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
