The problem with this is as soon as I try that (seemed the obvious thing to do!), I get terrible pins and needles in my feet, and within a few minutes lose ALL feeling in them... But I've also been waking up regularly when asleep with no feeling in my hands either!!
Seeing Pdoc tomorrow morning! I'll mention it to him...
Thanks Cam

> Nikki - I would suspect the propranolol. Decreased tension on the blood vessels caused by propranolol can cause pooling of blood in the legs resulting in the swelling. It might be wise to report this to your doc so that he/she can possibly adjust the dose. In the meantime, rest in a comfortable chair with your feet above your waist. The pooling is caused by gravity, so you can ease some of it by lounging with your feet up. (Good excuse to loaf around, huh.)
