Dear all.

Have had to take beta blockers for on going heart problem.

Not long after starting treatment,i noticed a couple of spots appeared on my left lower leg.

To cut a long story short,i now have patches all over my legs,and a couple on my body.

Although not sore or itchy,they look awful,ie i wouldn't go swimming any time soon.!

Doctors have tried all sorts of medicine,but nothing has helped. I have contiplated not taking the beta bockers?

anyone have any ideas/thoughts on the supject.!??

regards, Richard

    Can your doctor change your Beta blockers? Are your patches like psoriasis?

      Dear Marina,

      Sorry about delay in replying to you.

      I am on my second type of beta blockers,the first one had me in hostpital numerous times, including an operation/procedure.(horrible).

      I have been diagnosed with psoriasis,but nothing works ie medication.

      Psoriasis started week after start of beta blockers and has got steadily worse.

      I could start on new one but am frightened i might start original problems.

      This all started with heart problems.

      Many thanks.

      Regards, Richard
