Arrhythmia When Medicine Is Stopped. Dizziness, Low BP And Diarrhea. What Should Be The Dosage Of Inderal?

I have been taking Inderol for many years . I can feel arythmias when not on the drug . The problem is I also get dizzy and low BP when on the drug . The drug dosage is 120 MG E per day ( once ) . My BP is usually about 102 / 60 . Recently I had a bout with diarhea and the B/P went down to 51 / 35 . I was given 3 bags of saline and the BP went up to 90/60 . What do you think about reducing he Inderal dosage ?

Hello,

Welcome to HCM.

You have mentioned nothing about your past history, however I will try to help you.

Since you have been taking inderal sice a long time, dizziness, diarrhoea, arrythmia, low BP, etc can be due to inderal side effects or toxicity developing in your system.

It is a good idea to visit your clinician, get re-checked and get some other substitute medicine for inderal. Till than take care of your health, eat home made food rich in vitamin, mineral and antioxidants. Keep yourself well hydrated. Take care.
