What exactly is blood pressure in the first place? And how can you know if your blood pressure is either high OR low?...

Q: Alternatives to Solatol?

Dear all,

I started Solatol two months ago. I have been very pleased with how it has lowered my blood pressure and pulse rate. However, since startting the medication, my hands and feet have become very cold. Is there any other medication that lowers the pulse rate and lowers blood pressure at the same time?

Thankyou,

James Hughes 9.

Cold extremities, hands and feet, is a side effect of using this drug.
Switching to another type of antiarrhythmic drug can be done only by suggestion of your cardiologist.
Don't disrupt the usage abruptly and without consultation.
