Suggest Remedy For Rise In Heart Palpitations During Angina Pectoris

Hi, My mom is 54 yrs old. Since 2004 she's suffering from stable angina pectoris..she was hospitalised twice in 2004 itself and since than she's under medication. She faced no problems but 2 weeks ago she was having mild trouble with her increased palpitation but there was no pain. I must mention that in july 2010 she went for a check up where are Nitrocontin 6.4 mg was replaced by Nitrocontin 2.6 mg and her Daxid medicine was replaced by Tonact. Due to some personal problems it is not possible for her to immediately go back for a check up now...so what would be advisable ? should she follow her old prescription ?
Thanks.

Hello,

Brief answer: Stay on your new medication prescription, avoid causes of palpitation as possible.

Explanation: My opinion is that heart palpitations in your mother’s case is a simple matter as there was no chest pain or shortness of breath accompanying them. Heart palpitations have many causes. Common causes are anxiety, stress, anemia, pregnancy, thyroid problems, and coffee.

I suggest my patients the following: Do an EKG, avoid too much coffee or tea. Avoid stress and prescribe a rate control drug that would act on 2 levels: palpitations and ischemic heart. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion.

If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them if there is any rate control drugs in their prescription. Vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate are important.

Conclusion: I suggest you check your mother meds and ask your GP doctor about rate control drugs benefit in your mother case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
