I'm taking a beta blocker and an alpha inhibitor..... I once asked my doc if I could discontinue them and she said that they served as more of a heart protector than anything else.....so......yes......they are probably life long meds.

I have been on a beta blocker since 1988. Still works very well.. Fatigue is the worst side affect, but fatigue is also the system of Pulmonary Hypertension due to heart value issues and right sided heart enlargement. One day at a time. Eat well, exercise and rest time thought the day.

Hi, I've been on mine since 1980. Dr's up the dose as yrs went by. Now I cut then down to 2 a day. When they first put me on they I had very high and fast heart beat. Now my heart beat and BP is too low. I need to go back to my dr. But do to flu being so bad already I'm trying to stay home. I'm scared of flu, pneumonia n plurasy. But I'm scared about my heart too. Have figure this out. Many blessings. O my Dr told me the Inderal isn't going to help my heart now, that was 4 yrs ago. He said if the flutters, smothery, weird things my heart does get worse I need ablason. That's very scary. God bless you always
