Pretty accepted that over 160 systolic or 100 diastolic you will be rejected. You were close.
Nelson i found out the drug name i was prescribed a few year ago and didnt work: bystolic. Also a beta blocker. But i was taking the lowest dose possible. Hopefully propanolol works for me
I have read that actually the effect of PDE5 inhibitors are very modest at best with regards to BP. Otherwise that would be a win win!pop a viagra or cialis pill
I would not take propanolol daily since it can affect your erections. Just as needed. Great for performing in front of people if you have social anxiety or stage fright. I have only taken it one time since I actually like speaking in front of crowds (I took it for my immigration interview since they give me the creeps). I hear some of the best actors and speakers take it.
It is not a DEA scheduled drug, so it is not hard to get a doctor to prescribe.
Indeed! I am coming back next week to donate plateles since they asked they are in need. Hopefully i can control my anxiety! Speak to you soon Dr SayaNelson is correct - I used low dose propranolol for my Valedictorian speech, as I was young and quite nervous, it worked very well to control the "fight or flight" symptoms and allow for a good speech. I've also prescribed it for "as needed" use for patients for similar situations/circumstances. Nelson is also correct that it isn't adviseable to take daily/longterm for BP (in most cases) as there are other more tolerable (less side effect) options.
HealthMan - we can certainly discuss next time we chat. Congrats on getting the blood donation completed. Isn't it interesting the impact simple breathing and calming down can have on BP!

So do you recommend going back to the Lisinopril?
Nothing decreases blood pressure and "stage fright' (or white coat syndrome) better than a beta blocker. Ask your doc for propanolol
After 3-4 hours of taking propranolol my heart rate is much lower than when i measured 1:30h after taking it. I guess max plasma concentration takes longer and maybe next time i need to take it at least 3-4 hours before donating. Maybe this should do the trick. Anyways last time without propranolol my first BP reading was north of 160/120 this time it was 140/100 and would probably be much lower measuring a second time (as it usually is)
Here are two PK graphs for propanolol. Message: Eat, take it and go there 2-4 hours later.
