We are so alike, I have an SVT and take Propranolol 160 mg daily. At some doctor appointments my BP might have been slightly elevated but usually it was my low normal. I anemia from Linezolid that made me feel terrible the month of November. Now I make sure to eat foods with iron. I have been borderline anemia before this treatment. I took my Linezolid late afternoon so I didn’t feel nauseous all day. Also, I took a half or 1/4th of Zofran to help with the nauseous feeling from Nuzyra. I tried some teas and ginger ale for awhile.
Are your IVs lasting hours? If so I found out that it goes faster if you put the IV pole on a card table so it almost reaches the ceiling. This made a BIG difference for me.
Thanks for prayers, I am doing the same for you. 🙏

@janetannfaust my Iv vary. I do 2 drugs 3 days a week for 1/2 hour each and 1 drug 4 days a week for half hour. My big worry is all the foods you need to avoid while taking linezolid. If you look online it’s all over the place. I worry about the possibility of a cardiac event if I mistakenly eat a wrong food item. Do you have any advice on food?
