Dear Dr. PrabhakarI have been taking Aritel 40 for about a yr.Lately I am having lot of dizziness.The ECG shows missed beats .say between 10 and15 per minute,and also IVCD.Occaisionally ,the heart rate drops to 46 per minute on standing up.Could this problem be due to Eritel?ThankyouRM
Hello, Writer per se doesn't affect heart rate, however many a time if your blood pressure is over treated you may have dizziness when you suddenly get up this is called or tho static hypotension.  However, if your ECG shows so many missed beats (considered significant when more than 10 beats), and ICD is too non-specific, the missed beat may be the reason for dizziness in all probability.  Do upload the ECG or visit your cardiologist with the same for accurate diagnosis. The next test is 24 hour holder Also don't worry just a medication would be the treatment, its just titration of dose of the medication can be done easily after final diagnosis is made.
