  1. I am in my third week of Midodrine and continue to have an increased heart rate. My doctor did not believe this is anything to be alarmed about. The midodrine is raising my bp enough to keep my functioning. It should be noted, though, that my doctor's original instructions were to increase as needed. She warned me from the get go that I may need to take it up to six times in a day and that would be perfectly all right. She gave me a prescription for half tablets twice a day with the understanding that I will know when I need it for the first two weeks. By the end of the first two weeks, I was taking full tablets 5x a day just to keep my bp up. Talk to your doctor. While bradychardia is a side effect of the midodrine, my doctor did not express a concern that mine was still high but in the 100 range. Most likely because it was better than my standard 140-160 bpm :-)
