Jacquie802 Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi guys,I'm just curious if it is normal to have my heartrate be in the low 60's while on Midodrine?? I forgot to take my Toprol last night, so I know it's not due to the Toprol....Just wondering if anyone has had the same prob..if it is a prob, LOL.Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclair Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 ~waving~..i did.. Midodrine dropped mine to the low 30's and had to be taken to e.r. etc.. So no more for me.. i probably had too much of a dose but still..scared me enough.. Hope you do okay..jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellepee Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I'm on midodrine and I notice my heartrate is sometimes in the 40's but my doctors don't seem too concerned about it. When I notice it's low, I just try and stand up or something cause then it usually gets to at least 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 One of the side affects of Midodrine is slow heart rate. You might want to talk to your doctor about this, if your HR is normally higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi,My HR decreases too because it does not have to compensate for the vasodilation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdomaracki Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 I do believe that because midodrine raises your blood pressure, your heart rate decreases because it does not have to compensate for orthostatic intolerance.I would have that checked out by your doctor though, because 30 bpm is an awfully low heart rate.I have noticed that my resting heart rate is slower also, but trying to sleep at 100 bpm can never be comfy!Nicole.

Lukkychrm42 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yeah, when I'm on just beta blockers, when lying down my resting heart rate is about 50... when I've been off of them for a while and am laying down and the body's not acting funky, it's about the same... now that I'm on the 10 mg of ProAmatine, my resting heart rate isn't even 40 half the time. The doc cut my BB dose in half, but so far it hasn't helped. Hmmm.. good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
