propranolol

dr had me on 10mg 1-2 times a day for fast pulse in evenings

mental health increased 20mg twice a day for anxiety and the evening pulse

i normally only take when needed but notice its not slowing my heart rate hardly at all now

is it because im only taking when needed?

is it something i need to take regular

Am taking this drug for similar problems, you should be taking it every day according to instructions for it to work,also don't just stop it completely you need to reduce down.

[mandy72 in reply to Hidden]

thanks that could explain why they aint working so well

[Hidden in reply to mandy72]

Think it's that ,but check with chemist. I've cut out mid day one, but hearts starting racing again so going to reintroduce it. Rather take tablet then put up with palps, racing heart etc

Please make sure you follow instructions on packet.

it says 20mg twice a day, some day my pulse is in the 50's in the morning so theres no way i want to be taking a beta blocker

You need to book a appointment with your doctor, don't worry about effects of not taking it, with me it brought back symptoms, but please get medical advise

i see the nurse wednesday for blood test and blood pressure so ill have a word with her

Mandy72 check your pulse later in the day, make sure your relaxed and have sat down for about half hour. Your pulse rate can be low first thing in the morning, see if there's any difference.

[mandy72 in reply to Hidden]

i have a pulsense tracker to check my pulse it really varies during the day, and i am sat most of the time while crocheting i might take a proper look tomorrow and see roughly when it increases

something is telling me i may be hyper as im never cold anymore and everyone else is complaining of it being cold

something is off with me

[Hidden]

The best thing you can do is book appointment with GP monday,. Hope things get sorted for you

[mandy72 in reply to Hidden]

ill be lucky if i get seen within 6 weeks

they will have blood results by friday maybe monday so if anything is off ill get in faster

unless i call and ask for a call back

There is little point in taking any version of thyroxine whilst you are on it as it cancels out thyroxine. Depression is a SYMPTOM of hypothyroid not a seperate thing.

im on T3 so not sure if its the same but dr gave me it for my heart rate

mental health wants me on it for anxiety
