My gp tried at one point to take me OFF my beta blocker and try something else, but it just didn't work - I walked up the flight of stairs to my flat and my heart wouldn't stop beating (not in a good way!). I looked it up when Indie mentioned what she was on, I think it is different, one is "specific" one isn't, some business like that.

I did notice that the beta-blocker will raise triglycerides, because my gp has been chewing me out about that, and I thought I had been eating less! So I googled an antidote to those, and found l-carnitine, which is basically beef, and I do think I feel better when I eat meat, so I will try to add that to my diet and see if it helps. T (of the perfect body) says he uses protein powders.
