How Safe Is Nitro Patch For Raising Heart Beat?
I've 41 years female on Nitro patch for my heart speeding up and Opana for back pain, blood presser meds.Latley I've experincing and high pitch sound in both ears,Vision problems, heart beating so fast at night I can't sleep day or night I've been living off of sleeping tylenol because I feel as if I'm on this rollercoster ride. When I'm trying too sleep at night I can feel my heart beat in my throat. My speech is horrible when I'm talking I can't get everything out. I am ADHD but I took myself off the meds years ago because of my back injury because of all the meds I'm on now, I feel sweaty, clammy. Any ideas? .

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that Nitro patch is not the best medication for tachycardia (increased heart rate).
Besides it can cause low blood pressure and aggravate this clinical situation.
Your symptoms could be related to anxiety.
I recommend consulting with a specialist of this field to help you manage anxiety.
I would also advise a close monitoring of your blood pressure and discuss with your doctor the possibility of stopping using Nitro patch (if you do not have coronary artery disease).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
