Given my fast heart rate, mild heart valve issue, and extra heartbeats that spike to 130 bpm with anxiety, should I start taking Inderal 10 twice a day, and is it true that once I start this beta-blocker I cannot safely stop?
For your fast heart rate and anxiety spikes, a low dose like 10 mg twice daily is a very common and helpful treatment. Regarding your concern: you can absolutely stop taking it safely in the future. However, you should never stop beta-blockers suddenly, as this can cause a temporary rebound spike in heart rate. If you choose to discontinue it, your doctor will help you taper off slowly and safely. Please consult your physician to confirm this is the right choice for your specific valve condition.
