My pdoc won't increase my propranolol until she gets my EKG, heart rate and blood pressure.
I just got the EKG today so I don't know about the results, but I did go to the pharmacy to get my blood pressure and heart rate.
It seems my blood pressure is on the lower side of normal. My systolic readings go from a high of 112 to a low of 91, average is 103.5.
My diastolic readings go from a high of 73 to a low of 58, average is 66.6.
My heart rate goes from a high of 93 to a low of 61. Average is 77.
Based on this information, is my pdoc likely to increase my propranolol?
I read that propranolol doesn't lower already low blood pressure, so I don't see what the big deal is.
