I take propranolol ONLY at night to stop my heart palpitations so I can sleep. It is some how crazily tied into my brain and quiets it so I can sleep.
I was good with up to 50 mgs PM but more than that and I get chest tightness which is a side effect of beta blockers. I discussed this with my doc just to let him know.
Now it seems even 30 mgs is causing me issues. I'm looking for a short acting "something" that will work like propranolol but is not a beta blocker. I don't really need it for BP, just to knock back the palps and stop the thoughts.
Clonidine does not work, not does an Ace. I'm going to try potassium again but I'm hit and miss with that. I don't take stimulants, not looking for a diagnosis, just some suggestions of things that might help.
Thanks, Please tag me
