Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Does Inspra or Benicar cause slow heart rate? My heart rate is running 58-65. I guess that is good since I have cardiomyopathy, but it is usually more in the range of 75-80. I also read high potassium causes low heart rate.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Has the slower heart changed how you feel? Are you taking any other Meds? > > Does Inspra or Benicar cause slow heart rate? > My heart rate is running 58-65.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 How often are they checking you potassium? What is the doseage of the meds? > > > > > > Does Inspra or Benicar cause slow heart rate? > > > My heart rate is running 58-65.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 If you have cardiomyopathy due to HTN then lowering BP lets your heart work more effectively and it does not have to beat so fast.
