I feel worse now than when I started.
Is there anything I can do/take to either stop or reduce what I am feeling?
Because beta blockers work on the brain and nervous system, these organs adjust, over time, to beta blockers' presence. This means that suddenly stopping beta blocker use can cause a phenomenon known as rebound hypertension. This is caused by the brain adjusting the strength of its signals to the heart as a result of this medication that partially blocks these signals. When the drug is suddenly gone, the brain keeps sending out these stronger heart-pumping signals, which can cause high blood pressure and added stress on the heart.

I got your mail and to me it appears you are having vasospasms.
Which usually present with the feelings of palpitations in the left and center chest.
The best scripted med for this is Name Brand Norvasc. Which is a Calcium Channel Blocker that was originally design to control this however it has a side effect of lowering BP. Which is where the problem comes in most doc’s and pharma’s will just write a script for Amlodipine Besylate which is the active ingredient but is a far cry from original NORVASC. So if you twist your doc’s arm real hard he’ll write the script for Norvasc and medically necessary, do not substitute!!
Next is price most insurances will not want to pay for it or the co pay will be steep! So you may have to battle them to get what you need!
Another alternative is Canada but watch these people, some will substitute a generic brand. The one I hear will get you the name brand is a Canada company that starts with “Maple” For obvious reason’s I eliminate the full name. I’ve seen these drugs which are Norvasc made by Pfizer in Turkey and they appear to work like they should. However I would try the local route first and see what works!!
If that helps but don’t solve the problem you may need to add some Nitro to settle things down. The best route here is to get a slow extended release type which carries the name Imdur or better known as Isosorbide Mononitrate this stops the spasms by dilating the arteries and providing extra nitric to relax the heart. Again this is a scripted med and generics work pretty good so this shouldn’t be a problem getting. Except getting past your doc!!!
As far as over the counter supplements L-Arginine 500 mg. 3X a day may help!
For remodeling Serrapeptase 40,000 spu units 2x aday for about 3 month’s and then 1X a day after. This supp. Has the ability to remove dead tissue from the system. There is a lot of info on it, so just do a search and see if it sounds right for you.
Hope this helps!

In the mean time here’s a couple of links to get you on track of what I’m talking about. There loaded with medical terms but I believe you’ll be able to read thru them and understand what their trying to get across also, lot of the treatments they discuss are in hospital therapy’s But getting Nitric Oxide Up is easily done at home!!

I figured that on the Norvasc $$$$ have a Talk with your pharmacist and see if they can get this one or have it in stock it’s as close as you can get now since Pfizer sold Greenstone off. Which use to be Pfizer generic arm but the formulation was identical to Norvasc. Vintage somehow got into the mix and uses the same process.

See what you doc has to say about Imdur???
