Some attribute blushing to social phobia, tho it differs in that it is not accompanied by a change in our pulse or blood pressure. Blushing is generally thought to be a response to embarrassment, but is the emotion that riggers blushing as broad and general as "embarrassment?" Or are there more nuances to the emotional cause of what Darwin termed "the most peculiar and most human of all expressions"?
I really appreciate that. I try to not think about it, but when people comment on it, it gets hard to not think about the color of my face. I'm used to blushing at blushing sports and the heat, but I'm not a fan of having always red cheeks.
Hi, blushing is blood being drawn to the face and is triggered by many things. Maybe your just a cool person and do well under stress as your body is not triggering the response. Have you ever had you blood pressure tested? If not maybe go to one of those drugstores that has the machine and test it yourself. Just a thought.
I get a very similar thing, and its not until after the blushing appears that i become nervous, only from being self conscious about it. It's become quite a burden, i stick a concealer in my pocket at school now, knowing im likely to get it daily.
The only advice i have is the advice im about to take from the "red blotchy rash on chest" forum from this website.
Hi, I've just finished taking accutane for 5 months and taking two 30mg twice daily. The past 2 or 3 months I've been noticing that blushing is a big problem for me. I always blushed before I took accutane, but it has never been this bad. Everything makes me blush. EVERYTHING. Even something as little as a stranger saying hello, and my face goes tomatoe red. All of my friends laugh about it which only makes matters worse. I'm very self conscious about it. Will this blushing go away?

Ever since I was little, I have always had incredibly rosy cheeks. They haven't gone away, and have always been a similar blushing colour. Exercise and fluctuating temperatures make them much for red for a certain period of time, however, I want to eliminate the fact that they are permanently blushing.
It has always been an insecurity of mine and I want to find a way to get rid of them. My sibling and mother have rosy cheeks too.

Hello,
If rosacea has been ruled out then it can be due to blushing. Blushing is a sudden and involuntary reddening of the face, neck and ears.You can overcome it by psychological counseling with a psychologist/psychiatrist and boosting up your confidence levels.The treatment of severe blushing includes anti anxiety medicines and beta blockers.Severe cases may need endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS).
She was looking for answers for her 18 year old daughter who she found out has extreme blushing. I have recently found out that my own very lovely daughter has been suffering from this, compounded by excessive sweating of the hands and feet. But it is the blushing up to five times a day which is causing such stress. I am feeling quite desperate for her. It seems to happen during fairly mild exertion such as walking up to college, or spontaneously.
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.
I have been given propranolol to take as I have had continuous palpitations since monday and my heartrate has randomly shooting up in the 100's (not related to posture!!) These will also help with my bp, it has been creeping up.
I have had these in the past but was more recently on bisoprolol. Which is more common for POTS symptoms?
I was in A&E last night and back at my GP's this morning. I have been refered back to the cardiologist who is going to see me in november.
I've been taking Propranolol for high blood pressure and tachycardia(10mg at 8am, 2pm, and 8pm) for about 18 days now, and four days ago I woke up feeling quite dizzy. Since then it seemed to get better, but now I feel lethargic, dizzy, and generally unwell. Is it my drug?
Note: I'm a 15-year-old male.
Hello,
This redness of face can be due to blushing or rosacea. Blushing is a sudden and involuntary reddening of the face, neck and ears. The treatment of severe blushing includes anti anxiety medicines and beta blockers. Severe cases may need endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy(ETS). The treatment of roscea is entirely different. I suggest you to get an examination done from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
4 days ago pcp changed my beta blocker from propranolol 40mg twice daily to metprolol er 25mg daily d/t low pulse in 40s- 50s. Been on propranolol for 22yrs for PVCS. She had me just stop propranolol and start metoprolol, been experiencing shakiness, occassional pvcs, headache, nausea, pulse still 45 - low 60s at rest and with exertion 70-90. Should she have tapered propranolol or will the metoprolol block the more serious withdrawal symptoms ie: HTN, chest pain ect.
Propranolol is not on the list of contraindicated drugs for Harvoni. Here is the list: http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/ledipasvir-sofosbuvir,harvoni-index.
When did you start taking Propranolol 20 mg? Side effects of propranolol include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, insomnia, nausea, depression, memory loss, fever, lightheadedness, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, cold extremities, sore throat, and shortness of breath( ref: http://www.medicinenet.com/propranolol/page2.htm). It is possible that your symptoms are related to the medication you are taking.
I take propranolol the dosage is up to your doctor it doesn't really make you tired although everyone is different but it doesn't me it's suppose to be for stress and anxiety but I don't think it helps very well you might consider ativan there isn't a medication that has propranolol in it there is a script of propranolol by itself it's not mixed with any medication
Sertraline and other Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) inhibit a certain enzyme which usually metabolizes Propranolol. Due to this inhibition, Propranolol action may be enhanced. But it will not be appropriate to look at this isolated piece of information and ignore other evidences.
We do have a lot of trials and reviews exploring the combination. There is no conclusive evidence which allows us to deem this combination unacceptable.
Your thoughts about blushing are making you uncomfortable. The actual blushing is too, but that is secondary, I had the same problem when I was younger, though admittedly, not as much as you. First quit telling yourself that there is something wrong with blushing. You are uncomfortable with being in the limelight, that's all. You don't want attention fully on you. Therefore, you can't even take a compliment well.
Results vary among people, but, for migraines, I was taking 240 mg Inderal LA (Propranolol slow release) every day, in divided doses, I was fine. One site I just viewed suggested dosing as 40mg twice a day of Standard Propranolol or 80 mg Slow Release once a day.
For the Standard Propranolol, they listed 640 mg as the maximum per day, in divided doses, so you're clearing that by a wide margin.
