Grrrrrr, had a couple of nights where I managed to sleep for about 5 hours which I have to say is great for me,but last night was back to normal had 1 hour between 2am and 3am, woke up with a really strange feeling in my head and so dizzy, I do suffer with dizzy spells due to the anxiety but this is really strong, feel like im going to have a full blown panic attack any minute
Hi Lesley
So sorry you had a bad night, how are you feeling now? Is the medication helping at all? I can't remember what week youre on?

Hi Holly, I still feel rubbish been trying all day 2 go 2 the shops but am scared as im so dizzy, ive been on propranolol 40mg twice a day for the palpatations since February they were helping but not any more think they stopped working when I started the hrt,how are you doing chic? Xx
Oh sorry Lesley I can't believe you've been suffering since Feb. Can they not change the medication? I know it's a struggle thinking about going through all those side effects though!
I'm ok, ups snd downs as usual, but generally ok xx
Got docs again on Friday so will ask AGAIN about changing meds but not holding out much hope xxglad your doing ok

There are various conditions associated with difficulty falling asleep, dizziness and restless sleep. There could be chances of insomnia. Symptoms include trouble staying sleep at night, feeling tired during the day, moodiness, is generally seen in people suffering from insomnia. Adopt new habits to help you sleep such as avoid stimulating activity and stressful situations (vigorous exercise; big discussions or arguments; and TV, computer or video game) before bedtime. Make sure your bedroom is quite, dark and cool, stick to a regular sleep schedule. Avoid naps; napping during the day can make it more difficult to sleep at night. To boost melatonin production, use low wattage bulbs, cover windows and electrical displays in your bedroom.
Hi Paul,thanks for your reply and advice, I dont nap through the day as I just cant sleep at any time though if I could sleep during the day I wouldn't as that would make my nights even worse, how are you keeping ? xx
Is your doc refusing to try you on something else? You certainly shouldn't still feel like this 8 months into meds!! xx
Hiya, she started me on hrt about 8 weeks ago and wants me 2 try ride it out for another 4 weeks 2 see if things settle back down as the hrt should have kicked in properly by then, if things dont improve im hopeful she will take me of the propranolol and try me with something different, all this messing about with meds is a pain in the ass xx
