Beta blockers??
I have read that beta blockers are bad for people with myasthenia gravis. I have been on Coreg for quite a while. I am thinking that I started taking it somewhere around the time that my symptoms really got bad.
It sounds easy enough to say just don't take them; however, I almost died from uncontrollable hypertension. I was in the hospital with BP of 250/140 that would not come down. I have tried most every drug out there, and this is the first one that works. My sister and my father both failed to get their hypertension under control in time and they had massive heart attacks. They survived, but didn't do very well.
If Coreg is what has made me so sick with MG, then I don't want to take it. Surely there is something else. So has anybody else had any experience with Coreg or other beta blockers? (Coreg is actually a beta and an alpha blocker.)
