What Does TOPROL Do For Acute Myocardial Infarction And Congestive Heart Failure? |
FATHER HAS DIAGNOSIS ABOVE AND IS HAVING EPISODES OF VOMITING, DIZZINESS AND SLURRING WORD. HE HAS AN EXTENSIVE HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE. TRIPLE BYPASS AT 60, 2 HEART ATTACKS AT 70 EMT'S BROUGHT HIM BACK TWICE THEN HAD ANGIOPLASTY FOLLOWED BY A 99.9% BLOCKED COROTID ARTERY? Toprol is a beta-blocker. (there are different receptors and binding of molecules causes different effects--binding at the beta receptors increases the heart rate and eventually the blood pressure) It controls the heart rate and also decreases the blood pressure. Controlling the heart rate during a heart attack is important because it decreases the amount of oxygen that the heart needs and during a heart attack, there is less oxygen available in the first place. If your father has just begun to have these symptoms recently, it sounds like he should go to the emergency department. there may be something seriously wrong--slurred words may be a sign of stroke, or they could all be signs of a heart attack with decreased blood flow to the brain. I hope this link helps. Toprol slows down the heartbeat to lower blood pressure.. Make sure he never stops taking it suddenly or he could die |
