I know there have been alot of postings re:beta-blockers but is anyone out there still on them after RAI. I had RAI 12/94 and became hypo in early ’95. I was on beta-blockers before the RAI, personally a lifesaver, after becoming hypo I was taken off the beta-blockers. Palpitations returned, though not nearly so bad and I was told I could return to the beta-blockers. I must add that I do have Mitral Valve Prolapse which may be why I had trouble before but a cardiologist did not seem to agree with the internist I was seeing, and thought the beta-blockers were not necessary. I must say after feeling like I did before RAI and after becoming extremely hypo, I am scared to stop the meds I am currently taking. Just wondered if anyone else with GD continued with Beta-blockers after RAI????? Julie T.
