hey everyone

Well, I need help

firstly let me share that 2 years ago following a viral illness i started to get inappropriate sinus tachy. 130-140 without doing much. Went on 10mg Propranalol and that worked fine until August this year. Started to get ectopic beats alot. Feels like heart stops, brief second, then rush of adrenaline and heart beats again. All in the space of 1-2 seconds.

It feels awful. Its scary.

Cardiologist moved me to Bisoprolol. 1.25mg and i took them but alas, whilst ectopics reduced a little they remained.

I have decided to taper off them and try without. Ive done 4 days 0.6mg and headache went (relief) but today i had back to back horrid ectopics which made me feel so poorly. Sadly i took 1.25mg of Bisoprolol

How the hell do i stop these? Feels like i take them and suffer side effects or try to come off them and feel worse.

Whats the point? Scared. Sad. Not sure what to do.

    i have had the same problem, i was put on them in 2018 for svt and ectopics. i didn,t like how they made me feel so i stopped them immediately. i went back on them because i was getting a lot of pressure in my chest in late 2018, they made me feel awful. i have tried to come off them many times but having terrible side effects so back on them i go. i did get used to them eventually but i still feel like a zombie. i don,t know which is worse being on them or trying to come off them.
