Common Questions and Answers about Propranolol natural alternative

Has anyone tried PROPRANOLOL for prevention of Migraines? I have struggled with headaches almost every day & Migraines aprox every 7-10 days for the last 10 years. Feverfew has helped but they now seem to be getting worst so I was thinking of asking my GP if I could try Propranolol.
ve been taking 10-40 mg at a time for inappropriate sinus tachycardia control (probably anxiety, but who knows). The propranolol seemed like a good choice since i also have headaches (kill 2 birds with 1 stone) but it seems to be having too much of a cerebral effect on me....
You have hyperthyroidism - most likely from Graves Disease. There is no proven alternative treatment -- so stay with your doctor's advice.
The recent levels still look high, so you may need more PTU or need to consider radioactive iodine or surgery for definitive treatment. Keep working with your doctor to get the thyroid under consistent control.
Is there any form of alternative/natural treatment for herpes other than prescription drugs?How effective is this type of treatment?I ask this because prescription drugs for herpes are so expensive and also the possible side effects from the drugs.Thanks in advance.
I would like some advice on getting some type of OTC drug or natural supplement that may replace antibiotics. I have had a sinus and gum infection along w/headaches and tooth pain for 4 mos. I live in VA., and they don't sell antibiotics OTC like some sates do. In addition, I have BV and I hope that the antibiotic would help that too. Also, I'm uninsured and cannot see a physician, therefore, I cannot obtain a prescription.
I prefer to not get on the chemical merry-go-round if at all possible, which require more medications and so forth and go the naturopathic route as that has no side effects, so is there a natural regimen I can take for the problem?
I assume you are on betablocker (atenolol or propranolol). You have some eye involvement. If MMI not working, then would reconsider surgery (or I-131 but w/ caution due to eyes) -- but if surgery the key is to find a surgeon very comfortable with Graves and prep with SSKI for 10 days prior.
That should always be your first resort, since medication will not cure you, it will only treat symptoms. As for natural remedies, they are complicated and not so easy to describe how to use them, so the best bet is to see a naturopath if you want to try that road. A book to read is Natural Highs by Hyla Cass, a psychiatrist at UCLA. We also don't know how old you are, and both certain medications and some natural remedies are inappropriate for people under a certain age.
Hi
I think you need to have you medications modified. You may be having allergies to propranolol and I do not think it is advisable to continue taking it. Discuss this with your physician as there may be alternative medications for you. He/she knows your case better and shall find the drug more suitable for your condition.
At this point, inform your physician about this. You should take medications to feel better and any side effects have to be reported.
Has anyone used natural therapies for allergies with success? I found this: http://***.*****.com/allergies/all-modality/allergies/miscellaneous/which-alternative-therapies-are-used-in-the-treatment-of-allergies-and-how-effective-are-they.html
which seems like a great resource. I've tried QBC (quercitin, bromelein, Vitamin C) mixes and had some luck with those, but only if I remember to take them all the time.
500 mg three times a day with meals Green tea extract (decaffeinated): 100 mg a day Grape seed extract: 100 mg a day Vitamin D3: 1,000 IU a day, Red Yeast Rice
If you are currently on statins, you should share
you concerns with your physician. You can discuss
the possibility of going off statins and trying policosanol
and the nutritional approach
You should have your cholesterol level rechecked
after three months and six months to see the results.

I want to try to stop taking propranolol for my migraines.. I still have them occasionally, but I wanted to see what it was like without it. I've been on it for about 3 years. Is it safe to stop this completely or do I have to lower the dosage and wean off it? I skipped one dose and my body was acting terribly. I could hardly sleep because my heart rate was so high.
s what they do to make money, whereas most therapy nowadays is done by psychologists and other therapists. As for natural remedies, a book to help you is Natural Highs by Hyla Cass, a psychiatrist at UCLA. It's a good place to start, though the book is old. Because natural medicine works on different parts of the system instead of using just one remedy generally, it might be best to see a professional, such as a naturopath or physician who practices integrative medicine.
Are they migraines, which is what imitrex is for (not sure of the relevance of coumadin for headaches)? There are natural remedies for migraines, but they'd be different than treating headaches, for which one would need to know what kind of headache.
Holistic medicine used to have a sort of rule of thumb -- for every year you've had a problem it takes a month of natural treatment to fix it. But since everyone is different, some people get better with one treatment and others never get better from a particular treatment. I'd say, don't have specific expectations, just give it a good shot and hope for the best. Meaning, what others have experienced won't really have much meaning for you individually.
I was recently told by a holistic/alternative person that my body was toxic and full of poop. She then sold me the oxypowder colon cleanse; 4 capsules for at least 7 days. I tried 2 and became dehydrated, plus do not like all the trips to the bathroom even in the middle of the night. What is your opinion on Colon Cleansing??
Now my daughter is on propranolol 20 mg/5mL at 2 mL per day, Concerta 27 mg, and cetirizine all together. My problem now is that the Concerta seems to not be as effective when she was doing so well before. I asked to take her off the propranolol to see if it would make a difference but the cardiologist said that she is in danger of morbid arrhythmia and that her arrhythmia was wildly out of control. They told me she was having 3-4 PACs in a row constantly. Is this really dangerous?
No, but I've worked with them when I managed health food stores -- what kind of digestive problems? My guess is, yes, they would be good for this, unless it's some disease state natural medicine can't touch. It's amazing what some digestive enzymes, DGL and aloe juice can do for people, or chamomile for relaxing the stomach. Or just chewing more slowly, which I'm unable to do but which can work wonders. Or some bitters to help get the digestive juices flowing.
