What Causes Rapid Heart Rate While On Losartan And Diltiazem?
Good Day Doc, I am taking Losartan 100 mg and Diltiazem cd 120 mg in the morning and Diltiazem cd 120 mg at night for two weeks now. But I can still feel my heart rate is sometimes fast in the afternoon. Is it normal? Prior to this I had an episode on Aug 25 for a BP of 194 / 96 due to a rebound from Clonidine .3 mg which I took for 5 nights (per PCP take once daily). Now I even developed an anxiety. PLEASE, Kindly assist me Doc. Thank you - Tes

Hello,
If it is something wrong with the heart rate, then it can only be known by ECG and it has got no symptoms that can indicate the change in heart rate, of course, you must be having some symptoms, but for reason for that could be something else but not the heart rate changed, if you want to clear the doubt, then you have to get done the EKG test, moreover whatever the medicine you are on is for hypertension and not anything to do with the heart rate.
In my opinion, it is the anxiety that must be playing the role here, so try to come out of it, even it is nothing to take anything with clonidine so just try to low down the stress.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
