I will soon have to decide whether to take Propranolol (a beta blocker) in addition to the Flecainide, Dabigatran and Glucophage I am already taking. Initially this seemed a good idea, to address my uncomfortable problems of high resting heart rate AND essential tremor. However, I now read that Propranolol is likely to raise blood glucose AND trigs, as well as lowering HDL cholesterol. (My trigs are already higher than I would like.) I am hoping someone has been taking Propranolol, and can comment on its effects, or alternatively can recommend another beta blocker. I read that there are newer selective beta blockers that may have less / no effect on bg, compared to Propranolol, which is older and non-selective.
There was an interesting discussion on the topic about 3 years ago, but maybe people have newer experiences to share. I do hope so!
