Beta blockers

by Cynnieb4, Aug 05, 2008 06:44AM

Have any of you been on beta blockers for your hashi symptoms if so which ones, also, I have been having frequent attacks, but is it anxiety, or blood pressure actually raising from these attacks? Chest tightness and hearing loud racing pulse in ear. It feels like anxiety?????

I was put on a beta blocker in 2006 for HTN and increased palpitations. I haven't been dx with hashi just yet, may find out today. I'm on Toporol XL (Metoprolol XL) and it works for me. I think I could have been having sx of hashi in 2006 with a TSH of 4.7 and HTN, but PCP only treated me for HTN. Go figure.

I've been on Toprol XL for over a year to control tachacardia.

I had the blood rushing in the ears thing before starting the Toprol, but my blood pressure was never high that I know of. The chest tightness could be anxiety, or acid reflux. I'm on Ranitidine to lower my stomach acid and Alprazolam for anxiety.

I still get chest tightness by times, but the woosh woosh woosh is gone and I haven't had any tachacardia. Once in a while my heart will try to rev up, but it only lasts a second.

You shouldn't need a beta blocker unless you are having tachacardia.
