Hi guys just an update saw my liver specialist nurse and armed with my list( thanks cris) l was able to get some answers and explanations about my cirossis.Having just started on beta blockers for varaces she did my b.p and pulse I could see some alarm in her face she said l must stop beta blockers immediately and rest for a few days apparently both where thru the floor 😕

She's going to speak with the consultant and see me next week.so slightly concerned l may not be able to tolerate b.b.s

What a roller coaster ride this is

Thanks guys

Hello love. Glad the list came in handy😀.

Sometimes beta blockers can cause low blood pressure, they may well try you on another beta blocker,what works for 1 may not work for another.

Ive been OK on my carvedilol, up to now.

Were you feeling dizziness or light headed?.

Your liver nurse will sort something, there are alternatives i think.

Did you manage to discuss dietary needs?.

Oh yes love its a roller coaster alright 😀.

My best.
