Is Doxasosin safe to take for high BP?
Patient: hello,I came off amiodarone 8 weeks ago.I was taking this for A.F .I was on normal sinus rhytm at the time and the doctor put me on1.25g of bisoprolol.This made my pulse fall to 48 .She then told me to stop taking it until pulse reached60.I then went into af 2 weeks later and doctor now says take bisoprolol even though pulse is only around 46.I am also taking Doxasosin for high blood pressure.I am concerned as to why my pulse is still low and when will it start to rise. thanks in anticipation david,Scotland Doctor: hiif you are in bnormal sinus rythma pulse rate around 60 to 100 is normal,at nocostt should it be 40/min,brady cardia is a very common side effect of amiodarone and beta blockers , ask you doctor to shift you to calcium channel blockers like verapamil or diltiazen , its a good substitute to brisoprolo with minimal effect on heart rate
