I tried to return to this treatment recently, my BP now is lower (100-80/60-70), probably because I hardly eat salt or processed food. So this time I didn't need the propranolol. I couldn't tolerate the salt because of GI and iron issues, so I stopped it.

That's what I thought you said (that you DIDN'T have NMH). That's why I was confused because Florinef is used the treat NMH and to increase BP. Not sure why they would have Rx that for you if you didn't have NMH or low BP. The medicine is designed to retain fluids to raise BP...that is all it does, so it made no sense why they would Rx this for you.
