mrsdavidson8605 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I just feel like if I can get my heart to not race AS MUCH, maybe I could funcion better. But I've tried so many beta blockers and all they do is drop my bp so low I can't get out of bed. Any other suggestions??? I haven't been on ANY medication in months, just bc nothing seems to help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen.t Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi there, The best thing that helps me is either anti histamine meds or diazepam for short term relief. Beta-Blockers seemed to intensify the problem for me. My racing heart probs have been helped by regular doses of Midodrine and I noticed when I was in hospital for tests recently that when I had to stop the Midodrine, the racing heart thing was a lot worse. I hope this helps you! Helen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I lay with my legs elevated above heart level for 45 minutes at least twice daily. Lots of leg squeezes before I get up in the morning. I also tense my leg and butt muscles whenever I am standing.I tried several betablockers. Inderal (propranolol) 10 mg was my solution. I take it 3-4 times a day.It only takes about a half hour to start working and doesn't lower my blood pressure.Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
