Suggest Remedy For Irregular Pulse
sir, I had taken aten-25 last October-10 for 15 days only, early in the morning. after that I feel my pulse comes down 48 from 84. I asked my doctor, he advised me to stop this medecine. now my pulse 55 when I wake up, after taking meals and going to office it gradually increase to 60 and 70 maximum. also I note that pulse is not regular, after 20 - 25 pulse the gap between 2 pulse increase upto 4-5 pulse than come down at starting level again. should I go to a doctor for this?

hello
thanks for posting here.
as per your statement, a pulse rate of 50-70 are quite within the normal range. you seem to have missed beats every 20 -25 beats which may be normal in soome people. But if it is causing you symptoms like dizziness, or loss of consciousness then they are a matter of concern.
Also we must know what type of missed beats they are. so if it is troubling you too much, a holter monitoring which is a 24 hr heart EKG minitoring should be done. also a stress testshould be done which will show if these missed beats increase with exercise. atenolol and its geoup of drugs help decrease these extra beats. you can be startd on half dose of 25 mf atenolol only if you are having symptoms or if any of the above tests come positive.
thank you
