Sectral User Reviews
Sectral - User Reviews
Atrial fibrillation went undiagnosed for years because it never happened when I was being seen by the doctor. When it was detected with the use of a monitor, I was prescribed Sectral and Digoxin, which have remedied the problem. Never had an adverse side affect from it's use.

I take this for supraventricular tachycardia. The drug works well but I had to be very adaptive to finding the right way to take it. It causes gas and about an hour after taking it I need a restroom. This can be very uncomfortable in an office job. I eventually found that I had to reduce my dose by half. Then I started taking it every other day, when I left work in the evening. I also found that the med had an even greater GI effect if I took it first thing in the mornning before I had sufficient liquids to drink. I also discovered through trial and error that it is much easier on your system if you have food to eat with it. I think that it makes the absorption of the medication a bit slower. I am glad that I have found ways to adapt my system to the drug because it works well for my heart.
I have Premature ventricular contractions and high blood pressure. I have taken this medicine for 2 months, the only problem I have had so far is that i'm so tired. My doctor said that it will go away in time i'm not so sure about that after all its been 2 months.

I have been taking sectral for about 6 years and now my pressure is so low that I am passing out all the time and the found out it is the sectal. I was on it for palpations not high blood pressure. I have low pressure.
I suffered for a long time on various BO medications. Sectal changed my life. Three months after taking it, I went from complete house arrest due to rapid and abmormal heartbeat to now being able to drive again and stand and sit for longer periods. I take it also for dysautonomia. Love this med. I have no known side effects, and never did.
I am taking Sectral for high blood pressure and supraventricular tachycardia. The medication works great. Blood Pressure is perfect and no SVT in a month. So far no side effects
Been on it for over 7 years but last few months have developed tinnitis in one ear. Fear it is related to long term use. Anyone else have this result? Otherwise, it's been great drug for my irregular heartbeat problem.
I take it once a day. But can additional dose, if needed, but by time realize, am too tired to take it and afraid it too close together.
This medication has been effective for my control of a heart rhythm problem.
I have taken sectral for many years. I have very high triglycerides and wonder if sectral is a contributing factor.
after trying many various other beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, this is the one that worked with no problems. i am very satisfied.
