I have questions, I recently it will be 2 weeks Thursday have been taken off my pindolol for my heart. I occasionally hear my heart beat in my ears, I havent had any signs of arythymia at all. I do however occasionally again have my extra beats beat. I have been monitoring my blood pressure as well the first week after being taken off the meds I was very light headed one night couldnt walk but 2 steps and have to sit down. The next night I had a migraine so bad that when I got home from work I needed to take 2 of my migraine pills to make it go away. I then the next day took my blood pressure it has ranged anywhere from 150/99 to 118/70 and my favorite one 135/91 consectivly for three days. I went to see my doc and he told me that because I had been on Pindolol so long it would take a month or more to get it out of my system. Why dont they tell you this when they pull you off something like this? Other than that I have been doing real well and feel good. Thanks again for all the help.......
