hholmes13 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hi Everyone,My neurologist has decided to try me on a low dose of a beta blocker (Nadolol) to see if it will take care of all the tachycardia I've been getting. He's having me start with 10mg in the morning for a week, then going up to 20 mg after that each morning. (The morning is when my symptoms are the worst.) My bp is much more stable now, but I'm still a little nervous. Normally, I tend to be slightly hypotensive and a slower hr (~95/55; 55bpm sitting). However, after I've been taking in so much sodium my bp now hangs around 112/75. I'm hoping this isn't going to counteract my midodrine too much and lay me out. Has anyone had experience with this medication? How did you tolerate it? What kind of a dose were you on?Any input would be much appreciated! I start reading about all the possible side effects from these medications and get a little nervous. Thanks!Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugartwin Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I like it a lot. I take 10mg a day. It lowers my blood pressure much less than metoprolol, which is what I was originally on and it shaves about 40 bpm off my resting heart rate without making me feel too awful.
