I have been taking InderalInderal Inderal la LA 120 since Feb. Started with heart palpatations due to caffeineCaffeine Caffeine anhydrous Caffeine citrate Caffeine-acetaminophen Caffeine-ergotamine in Nov. 07. I am a 52 yr old femaleCondoms Female condoms Female sexual dysfunction. I never had any problem with racing heart rate until one day in November after drinking a Starbuck Latte. I went to work out and afterward i came home and I felt my heart pounding up to 130 bpm. It lasted about 5 min. and then gradually came back down, but after that episode I started having more, all related to drinking coffee. Anyway, this whole thing has made me a nervous wreck. I know that doesn't help., but I can't help it/ I am ALWAYS thinking about how fast my heart is beating. I work out 5 or 6 times a week, but am hesitant to let my heart rate get past 120 for fearFears and phobias it will start racing and won't stop. Like I said I am on InderalInderal Inderal la 120 LA. My question is this....when I work out now on the elliptical, I feel short of breathBreath alcohol test Breath holding spell Breath odor.....I don't know if this is because I am worried about my heart rate or maybe from the medicine. Anyone else have this problem. Thanks,
Pam
