Propranolol for blushing

Common Questions and Answers about Propranolol for blushing

inderal

Avatar n tn sometimes Tenex is also used in conjunction with stimulants to help control ADHD symptoms....first I have heard of inderal (brand name for propranolol) being used but makes sense...Always to remember to ask your doctor any questions about your meds and health care...the only stupid questions are the ones not asked....Also beta blockers are also given to help control migraines to regulate fluxs in BP...not because too high but slight changes can trigger migraines...
1243620 tn?1274790697 Does anyone take propranolol for anxiety and panic attacks? I've had crippling anxiety for my whole life. Antidepressants increase it to the point where I'm in such a state I almost pass out from hypervenitlating. I've heard propranolol is good for this, and is effective.
Avatar n tn 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"?
Avatar f tn I also do take the beta-blocker pindolol which has kept my BP at 125/70 for years. Shrink says very occasional and use of propranolol on top of pindolol should not be a problem but I still have concerns which I will run by my GP. I actually did receive a call from my pharmacy pointing out the risk of a low BP problem. So...I am wondering if anyone has used propranolol or has an educated opinion on both its use in ED and possible interactions.
Avatar f tn I know propranolol is used for PTSD...but what should I ask for in the pharmacy and what is the dosage? Are there any serious effect if taken without proper knowledge?
1654058 tn?1407159066 While we're on blood.... I've had occasional bleeding gums since starting tx. I'm havng to floss a lot - all those nuts, seeds, juicing, frozen fruit in shakes... Using Therabreath toothpaste, and mouthwash and a softer brush helps. I'm just ultra cautious. I've had bleeding gums on occasion my whole life. Teeth cleaned annually, etc. Heck, I've cooked for my family for years, tasting the food, sharing an entree. My daughter n ex both tested neg 2 xs.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Hi, Thank you for your question. Usually, propranolol (beta blocker) is suggested for prophylactic treatment of migraine. Acute or prompt treatment require over the counter pain killers and triptans. Avoiding the triggering factors of cluster headache might help you in order to prevent its recurrence. Hope it helps.
Avatar m tn I used to take a slow-release Propranolol 80 mg every day, which caused severe tiredness and extreme fatigue, to the point that I was not able to think straight and sometimes could not even get out of bed. Apparently, Propranolol also inhibits the ability for you to burn fat, not to mention gastrointestinal issues. Depression is also significantly higher when taking Propranolol.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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. Picture: https://imgur.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I take propranolol for my blood pressure and keeps my heart steady when a panic attack comes around. For my anxiety, the dr put me on celexa, propranolol, and Ativan. This combo usually works pretty well.

4155003 tn?1351614311 ive bin on propranolol for about 12weeks & weaned myself down to 10ml every other day, i took 10ml propranolol 52hours ago & not going to take another one as im ready to stop. when will it be fully out my system?
Avatar n tn weight for example. What is a perfect dose for an adult male would probably be too much for a preteen girl. It's important to talk to a doctor or poison control in case treatment is needed.
Avatar f tn Yeah, Propanolol has a chance of helping you. Not sure whether suggesting to the doctor what to try is the right approach, but you could always ask if you're a good candidate for it (assuming you've been checked out properly, diagnosed properly -- which often means an MRI and a long discussion of history, habits, possible triggers).
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Because of my symptoms, my doctor is ruling out physical causes before diagnosing it as stress (which will be his diagnosis if my daily adrenaline levels turn out to be high). He put me on Propranolol for a month for anxiety and my other issues.
Avatar f tn 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.
