I have been told so many times that my symptoms are stress related, but I think there is more to it. In my case I have "spells" where I get tightening and distress in my stomach area, lower gastro distress and at the same time get dizzy and my BP gets very high. I was told by a Gastro Doc that the Gastro issues and dizziness and BP cannot be related...but they are related. I can go for months without this happening, and for no reason it will start again. It can last a few days or a few months. This has been going on for about 10 years. I will investigate propranolol and talk to my Doctor about it. thanks for all the good info.
