How do you manage

Coping 🤦‍♀️
1

Hiya,

I was wondering how people cope with the pain? I have been in agony for a week now and nothing seems to be helping. I’m not sure how I’m managing to sleep but by the end of the day I’m so exhausted I think I’m just passing out (very dramatic). I’ve been trying to carry on as normal, going to work etc, but I can feel myself struggling more and more and I’m not sure what to do. I’ve been trying to get the doctors to increase my propanolol but I had to do 7 days of blood pressure readings and now have to do 3 days of pulse readings. It seems to be never ending and all I want is to feel better. Any ideas would be really appreciated.

Hi Tori

I’m sorry you’re feeling bad lately. What’s your dose of propranolol currently?

Hiya, I’m currently on 120mg at the moment. Not sure what they want to increase it to though.

Ah ok I see, is there room for increasing where you are? I read here in the UK it can be increased to 240mg if needed. I’m pretty sure it would lower your blood pressure at that dosage though?

This is why I’m having to do the blood pressure and pulse readings. Yes I read it can be increased to that too, I’m hoping it doesn’t get that far though :grimacing:. If that doesn’t do anything then I’ll probably have to look at something else. I have TMJ also and that’s been hurting so I think the combination of the 2 is causing me all sorts of problems. I’d just like it fixed.
