Q: Inderal????

My doctor prescribed Inderal and Imitrex for my migraines but I already have very low blood pressure. Also, I think I may have circulatory issues because my legs and arms fall asleep constantly and they tingle and stuff even when I'm standing. Should I take this drug? My doctor doesn't seem concerned, but I am a little. He hasn't even done blood work on me or checked me for anything. I haven't been to a doctor for 15+ years. I just can't stand these headaches anymore!!!

tmk33399,

 

-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•*Welcome to MyMigraineConnection!*•-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-

 

In low doses, many people can take Inderal even with low blood pressure. Have you talked with your doctor about the tingling symptoms? I don't know if you're taking other medications, but some meds can cause that. Definitely something to check out.

 

Because there's so much involved -- every medication you take including over-the-counter meds and supplements as well as your medical history and all health issues -- I really can't say if you should take Inderal. That kind of question can only be safely answered by a doctor who is treating you.

 

I hear you and sympathize on not being able to stand these "headaches" any more. Been there myself. The two best things you can do for yourself is learn about Migraine disease and the form of Migraine you have and work with a doctor who really understands Migraines and will truly discuss things with you. If you need any information, please let me know if I can help?

 

Welcome again,

Teri
