Ventricular tachycardia symptoms and conditions

I have been taking 300mg for 4 years. The first negative side effect was I passed out. The doctor reduced it to 225mg a day. I also take imdur, norvasc,lasex,altace and quite a few more. I am only 38 and I am surprised I don't have any more side effects. Oh I have experienced weight gain. Has anyone else noticed that? If curious I take all these meds for Hcm with ventricular tachycardia. Had an ICD put in in 2003. Man now that I type this all out sounds like I am in really bad shape. ok I am done babbling. To make a long story short I just want to know if anyone has had some weight gain?

I was diagnosed with sustained ventricular tachycardia (rapid beat at rest) on June 19th and immediately put on Toprol 50mg. It has only been a month and I have gained 5 pounds and my weight rarely changes. I just had cardiac catheter ablation on July 18th and slowly weaning off of the toprol with my doctor. I was on 25mg after the ablation but I was able to cut that in half yesterday. I am hoping to lose this weight, I HATE IT! Does anyone know if you can lose this weight after stopping Toprol?

I too have experience weight gain with difficulty losing the weight. I am on 200 mg of Toprol XL daily for recurrent ventricular tachycardia. It does not seem to be working as I still have the rhythm and get shocks from my defibrillator. I have also experience nightmares. I have not had any joint pain though.

I take metoprolol to control a ventricular tachycardia (50mg 2x/day). I feel extremely fatigued, diarreah, abdominal pain, disturbed sleep, racing heart. I have been on it for nearly a year but my dose was doubled from 50 to 100 last month. The side effects seem to have gotten worse in the last 2 weeks. Does anyone know if it builds up in the system? and how long it takes to reach "therapeutic levels"?

I have been taking Toprol for 7 days. I have been extremely irritable. I am normally an easy-going person with an outgoing personality. I have Ventricular Tachycardia and Mitral Valve Prolapse. The episodes have decreased but I seem to be "lost in a fog" and irritable. Any advice from anyone????

I have had 80% of the symptoms posted here all within 3 weeks of first taking Lisinopril.
I found this online...the manufacturers know what it cn do, but they make a lot of money from our suffering.

It read:
Lisinopril --In clinical trials adverse reactions which occurred with lisinopril were also seen with PRINZIDE. In addition, and since lisinopril has been marketed, the following adverse reactions have been reported with lisinopril and should be considered potential adverse reactions for PRINZIDE: Body as a Whole: Anaphylactoid reactions (see WARNINGS , Anaphylactoid and Possibly Related Reactions ), malaise, edema, facial edema, pain, pelvic pain, flank pain, chills; Cardiovascular: Cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident, possibly secondary to excessive hypotension in high risk patients (see WARNINGS , Hypotension), pulmonary embolism and infarction, worsening of heart failure, arrhythmias (including tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and premature ventricular contractions), angina pectoris, transient ischemic attacks, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, decreased blood pressure, peripheral edema, vasculitis; Digestive: Pancreatitis, hepatitis (hepatocellular or cholestatic jaundice) (see WARNINGS , Hepatic Failure ), gastritis, anorexia, flatulence, increased salivation; Endocrine: Diabetes mellitus; Hematologic: Rare cases of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and bone marrow depression have been reported.

Feet and Hands feel, but dont look, swollen. Feet always sore. Loss of energy, tired but restless wishing for more energy. Mental fogginess. But my Ventricular Tachycardia is gone.
