Aspirin EC Tab 81 mg 1 per day
Lipitor(Atorvastatin) 40 mg 1 per day
Amlodipine 5 mg 1 per day
Plavix(Clipidorel Bisulfate) 75 mg 1 per day
Metoprolol(Lopressor, Toprol) 50 mg 1 per day
Isosorbide (Imdur or Isotrate) 30 mg 1 per day
The change last week was going from 100 mg of Metoprolol to 50 mg. This is what they call a beta blocker, it reduces your blood pressure. The only thing it did was make me feel tired and I still had the PVC's, but they happened at a lower heart rate. And the new drug, Imdur. This is a nitrate, it opens my blood vessels for and increases blood & oxygen throughout the body. So, when I do my workout, my heart rate monitor does not indicate PVC's - but I still think I feel them.
I am planning on adding to my workouts starting next week. So far, I will get the heart rate to 95-98 when I am walking uphills. The plan next week will be to add 20 seconds of jogging on the flats. So, for a 30-45 minute workout, I will add jogging 8-10 times. I will also continue light weight lifying & pushups & situps.
The Imdur is still giving me headaches, but they seem to be decreasing in length. Right now, I am getting the headaches about 3 hours after I take the Imdur and last for 4-5 hours. Each day, I have been taking the drug 7 days, the length of the head aches decreasing in time and severity.
Come on jogging!!!!
