Lourage

Yea i do Flutter lol, but i'm doing better now, especially after going to the nephrologist last week and finding out i don't have a pheo! I also brought in all my BP readings from a span of 3 weeks, and he said all my numbers are fine! and to stop worrying and taking my BP... only problem is i still HAVE to monitor it, cause the other medication i'm on Effexor XR can cause elevated BP OR it can cause Hypotension, so it can go either way. Only thing i'm worried about is if my propranolol is keeping it low, but when it wears out if the effexor is going to cause it to spike up real high ( that is if i even get the side effect of high BP, usually doesn't happen unless you on a really high dose) But the effxor is working good for my OCD about my BP so far! But not with the anxiety yet.

This propranolol is good stuff though! I take it with food famnd! My metoprolol didn't bring down my BP this much. But yea, i'm thinking 40 Mg twice a day is too much. I think i would be better off taking 20 MG 3 times a day, it will keep the propranolol in my system and spread out longer. I'll call the doc either way. But i'll check it again tomorow and see if it gets that low again with a dose of 40. if it does i'll know it's not just a fluke number, and i'll see about 20 mg spaced out 3 times a day, if that don't help then 20 twice a day. I don't know which doctor to call though, the nephrologist is the one who prescribed them, but they always take a few days to get back to you if it's not an emergency, and i'm not sure this is an emergency, cause like i said i felt fine, even when working out. didn't get dizzy or anything. Maybe i should call my GP though, as she will get back to me much faster.

One more thing it does, is when i take my dose at night my feet get EXTREMELY cold when i take my socks off and go to bed, to the point where i have to put socks on or else they feel like they are frostbitten! other then that no other side effects! I also have stopped getting those hot flashes and turning red. sometimes i still get that feeling, but i don't turn red and it goes away real fast. My ears aren't even red when i come out of the shower anymore, theys till get red and hot though when i lay down in bed though, but when they get like that and i check my BP it's always fine, so who knows!

edit: just took it again a few seconds ago and it's 117/67. maybe i should only take 20 mg of the prop tonight?
