Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 My HR and BP were up when I was thyroid dumping. Did he use HC cream or stress-dose a big dose of HC for any reason? I'm just offering a suggestion. Others know better what to ask. > > Val, > > My husband is experiencing a very fast pulse rate right now. I took his BP about 10 minutes ago and it was OK but his pulse was 103 sitting and 110 standing. His BP dropped when he stood. He is lying down now and just got up to put his exercise heart monitor on. It registered 161. He had 3 stints last Feb 07 and is on Toprol and plavix now. Any ideas what would help!!!!! > > Delores > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 No, he doesn't take HC. He has quieted down a little and we decided to see if we can avoid ER tonight since we discovered he hasn't taken his Toprol for 3 days. He only takes Armour, Plavix, Glucophage, and Topral. Thanks for asking though, Delores Re: Fast Pulse > My HR and BP were up when I was thyroid dumping. Did he use HC cream > or stress-dose a big dose of HC for any reason?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Delores, My husband has A-Fib also. His Dr said that if his heart starts to race again that have him cough or bear down really hard. That might reset the heart rate to normal. DH is on Toprol also & it is very important that he takes it ON TIME. They really stressed the on time part. Gale > > No, he doesn't take HC.
