I have been wondering recently and have my cardiologits appointment until June 9 about several thinsg I have been feeling...wondeirng if other people have experienced the same things. I am on 10mg of Altace (Ace Inhibitor); 81mg aspirin and was on 30 mg of Inderal (propanol- Beta Blocker) which was switched to Carvedilol 12.5mg (Beta Blocker - dont know US commercial name for it). This is to keep BP low due to 2-3+ aortic regurg and dilated ascending aorta at age 39 from progressing soon to the point of surgery, which I have been told is inevitable anyways.
The symptoms I have been feeling are:
1. Numbing of hands and feet, especially when waking up
2. Reduced sex drive. However, and though no difficulty functioning well, it takes me forever to finish (much to the liking of my partner though even she eventually gets tired too) -- even had to stop due to dizziness once.
3. Low heartbeat - even awake I have 45-55 bpm and waking up 40 to45.
4. I get cold easy.
Anyone know if these are typically symptoms of the regurg getting worse or are they med related.
I am gonna ask my cardiologist on June 9 but have these questions in the back of my mind. Anyone relate?
