Thanks and a good weekend to you, too.

Most beta blockers have dizziness as a side effect. Sometimes, it only affects you for a few days and your system gets used to it but not always the case. I do hope they can find something that will work well for you. The one I am on now causes my feet and calves to swell with fluid so they lowered the dosage and NO swelling.

My PCP agrees that cholesterol is not the evil it is made out to be and rarely puts his patients on a statin. I trust him implicitly since he saved my life in 1990. I have had the last 23 years of life thanks to him. Usually if he disagrees with the treatment plan of my of my specialists, I defer to HIS judgement even though it may not be his specialty. He always seems to be correct. If we have to be sick, it is always good to have a doc we can trust. I have seen my share of those that would take me down the wrong road and as soon as I discovered it, I hit the road.
