Beta Blockers have caused permanent damage?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I was recently having problems with acid reflux that turned out to be gastro reflux disease, I was given some medication and 90% of it cleared up but now and again i was still getting the occasional chest pains.
I visited the doctor and she decided to prescribe me 20mg propranolol "To try" as she assumed maybe anxiety/stress is what caused my sudden acid reflux? I took the medicine for 4 days but it made me feel really strange, like i was zoned out and couldn't concentrate on anything so i stopped taking them on doctors orders.
I felt totally normal 2 days after stopping the medication but then I woke up on 3rd day and felt really woozy and light-headed, like i cant balance very well and everything seems delayed... I called the doctors and she denies that beta blockers have anything to do with this.
Ive now had 3 weeks constant 24/7 symptoms of dizziness, bad balance, zoned out feeling and struggle to concentrate... It almost feels like I'm high/drunk all the time or like I'm on rocking boat but I'm no longer taking any medication.
Does anybody have any advice for me or a similar experience? I went to the doctors for acid reflux and feel like I've now got brain damage.

Hello, how are you feeling now? I have had terrible withdrawals from stopping taking beta blockers, including dizziness and feeling like my equilibrium is off.
