Pvcs driving me nuts... and so is the medication

Posted , 1 user is following.

I've been having pvcs for the last 8 years and within the last year and a half the symptoms have gotten much worse. I was dealing with the skipping sensation but the shortness of breathe, dizziness, head rushes, neck fullness sensation, and occasional chest pain with the pvcs has become too much. So I resorted to medication to help with the symptoms but propranolol has complicated my life. It took me a while to start taking them because I have major anxiety about everything in life, but things got bad enough where I did start taking them consistently and it's been hard to come off of them. I had a number of side effects while taking propranolol not to mention I now have high blood pressure which needs to be controlled. It's all has been a nightmare and I don't know what to do. The medication is horrible but the pvcs are horrible as well, and the withdrawal from the medication... also horrible! Help!! I'm literally at my wits end.
