Hi disciple here

[Disciple5451]

I don’t understand why my GP wants to increase my meds next week I am on bisoprolol 1.25 Iverbradine 5mg twice a day my question is this my blood pressure is 100/55 pulse average between 55 /65 yet she wants to increase. Even though they knock me out I have never ever had high blood pressure. Nor a high pulse although without meds my pulse is around 70 plus I take statings Asprin and clopidogrel I am 5 weeks post stent one only I had a nstemi with only a 40 percent block but they put the stent in while they were there maybe as I work there they wanted to keep me saf3 lol who knows I had a 52percent lvd so not to bad start rehab in 3 weeks. Walking half a mile at least everyday feel well in body my head as not caught up I have asthma so need to be carful with beta blockers

Thanks for reading advice would be great

Ps the hope is to increase up to 10mg bisopolol good for the heart not the breathing

hi there,

Did you ask your GP why they feel it necessary to increase the dosage?

[Disciple5451 in reply to skid112]

Yeah it was on my discharge letter to increase until can’t tolorate anymore. In other words when I can’t breath or on the floor then stop

Thanks no I just took my bp it was 95/60 heart rate 56 I really don’t like taking pills but no I have to I would have thought the lower u can get away with the better my body is full of bruises. Feel like I am back in the boxing ring all be it 40 years ago

And I do question everything dr is only following advice from cardiologist. Wanted to raise the Ford 3 weeks ago but said better to wait till it’s cooler or u be on the deck almost there. Anyway
