I would like to ask why you stopped taking the beta blockers? My 13 year old daughter had taken a tilt table test and it was determined by her Dr. that she needed to have a pacemaker. Her fainting still occurrs even after two years of the pacemaker being put in. We are now giving her pindolol? Did your beta blockers work for you up to this point? I am so worried about the effects that they will have just hearing somone's experience with the beta blockers would help me with my decision . Do not be afraid if that is your option about the pacemaker my daughter recovered quickly and was back at school in 4 days.

I stopped taking the beta blocker because it didn't do what the dr thought it might do- which was stop my BP from dropping. It's been 6 months since my last fainting. I am taking theophylline 200 mg 2xday. So far so good.
