GLP-1 Drugs Causing Arrythmias

I have been taking Ozempic for 6 months with no issues but have recently switch to Mounjaro which has been more effective for most. The GLP type drugs are the most likely to increase HDL and lower triglycerides and that is why they are good for heart health overall.

There are people having problems with the injectable GLP drugs are primarily those injecting into the stomach and not those injecting into an arm or leg.

I have switched most of my heart medications but sticking to the same type, as with the Metoprolol beta blocker that I switched to taking another beta blocker, Bisoprolol. I am switching from the statin rosuvastin to Lipitor as the former has a significant drug to drug interaction with Ticagrelor. I switched to Ticagrelor as Plavix/clopidogrel with rosuvastin increases the AUC by 2.5 fold.

With multiple drugs one is much more dependent on their cardiologist and this unfortunately is not a solution as doctors very seldom in my own experience are sufficiently diligent and tend to hope for the best.

I have needed to spend days doing the research on my own but as my life is important to me the effort is not something I would consider not doing.

@calson "There are people having problems with the injectable GLP drugs are primarily those injecting into the stomach and not those injecting into an arm or leg." This is not true for me. I inject in the thigh, but still have the heart rate increase issues.
