Hi! I have been off
Propranolol for 3 weeks now. I started 80mg a day extended release for migraines my doctors weaned me off every week reducing dose and stopping me cold turkey after 20mg short acting propranolol. The symptoms were gnarly. I first had severe tachycardia episodes where my heart would should up to 160 like nothing then drop down in the 90s after a few minutes. This happened daily multiple times a day. I finally just got over the tachycardia sensitivities and my heart has finally regulated. Now the remaining annoying symptoms have been twitching lip muscles and body muscles in legs and tummy. Also i get like an internal tremor feeling like a light vibrating which used to be more intense and although reduced still very much present especially when I lie down. The last annoying symptom has been the light headedness and fatigue and over all muscle weakness feeling. Oh I almost forgot, I get these moments where I feel like I almost cant breathe and I struggle to breathe and then it passes. My cardiologist thinks that the nervous system is out of whack which control the fight or flight response thus causing me all these crazy reactions. He told me to give it a couple more weeks and to start exercising and swimming and doing things to increase adrenaline to help the system normalize which it eventually will. Is anyone else experiencing this? Please help I feel so worn out with weeks of these symptoms.
