My Internist took me off the heart medication digoxin saying a person needs to start with a beta blocker first. The blood thinner you're taking within 4 days caused my feet to swell. You need to save your life by taking your health into your own hands and doing research online. Take it to your doctors. Online the research will tell you, a beta blocker is best to try first but it may be too late. I'm not saying this is a correct way to take care of your health, but I am saying that it has saved my life a few times by taking this infomation to the doctor.

You are 100% RIGHT, and I did what you said, I discovered inderal was a beta blocker, my dr ordered it and I feel FANTASTIC, not totally myself but on the way there. I had two wonderful days in a row.I spent hours researching meds & their complications. I am not on anything but the inderal & the coumadin at this point. Inderal 40 /4 times a day. What a total difference, I can breath, my hearts not doing all those weird gurgles, burps & racing. I just hope this works & thanks for taking the time to reply..

I made a mistake I'm on inderal 40 /3 x a day (not 4 x/day). This is day 5 on the inderal and I still feel a wee bit dizzy at times/fatigued as well, but NOTHING like the toprol. I am so hopeful that this improvement continues. I am adherring to the low salt diet as well as allowing myself adequate rest. I do not smoke/drink. I am thinking about starting C0Q10 but need to research this a bit more..
