| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | Mild Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Mitral Valve Prolapse |
| Dosage & duration: | | 50 mg taken once a day for the period of 15 years |
| Other conditions: | | mild hypertension, allergies, high cholesterol, hyperthyroid |
| Other drugs taken: | | Parvachol, Allegra, Lyvoxel | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | My heart rate was rapid (usually 110-130 bpm) and I frequently had feelings in my heart that left my short of breath for a few minutes. My heart rate slowed down to normal (usually 70-85 bpm) and I very seldom have these episodes anymore. I feel much better overall and I do not have that feeling of "impending doom". Also my blood pressure is good and I do not have to take an extra medication for this problem. |
| Side effects: | | The only noticeable side effect for me is the drop in blood pressure, which for me has been beneficial. I have been told this medication can make you somewhat sleepy or lethargic, but I have not experienced this. |
| Comments: | | I take Atenolol once a day in the morning and that's all the treatment that I need to keep the mitral valve in my heart function correctly. |
