Don't go there !.....
First day back on the beta blocker, this time half dose of 1.25mg. Managed walk into town OK. Imagine if you can, school outfitters on the last Saturday before the kids go back to school.....we only wanted iron on name tags but some families had obviously decided that this was the best day to shop for
