Part 3 Latest update:
As of today, I'm almost off the propranolol, just a few very minute spaced out doses for a couple of days till I'm off completely and I'm now feeling less severe palpitations and angina and b/p's are more stable but occasionally just slightly in the high 140's/higher 80's when my previous baselines were 110-100/60-70 and pulses remain very good in the 50s and 60's. I"m still having my middle of the night deep sleep adrenaline rushes, though last night's was lighter with less flushing and minimal chest pain. Note, that different than many of you, when I have my adrenaline rushes they don't usually involve my pulses going tachycardic just Very Strong palpitations and the recently moderate to severe angina. Last night's episode was actually while having a very pleasant dream. I believe I'm in the midst of some long term adrenal fatigue to the point where any stimulus good or bad seems to possibly send me into an adrenaline rush. I do remember even as a child having severe adrenaline rushes particularly if getting into a scuffle as young men do from time to time or facing a stressful situation. Even more troubling than my cardiac issues if that's possible, are the disabling cognition, visual, dizziness and nausea issues I've had for the past few months coinciding with the rise in cardiac events, which I originally attributed to decreased cerebral blood flow from both coronary and carotid narrowing. To save the references to vertigo, I've had BPPV for years and know when and how it feels and this is not it. I am even very well versed in performing an Epley Maneuver on myself to correct for positional or displaced crystals/ololiths of the ear. What I believe is going on is that the severe adrenaline over production through the years has finally significantly upset my neurotransmitters/catecholamines/hormones and that this is causing my cognitive/brain communication issues. The trouble is that despite all my efforts and pleas I can't get one medical professional to do any sincere investigation or intervention. Only one very preliminary blood test was included in a general cbc for adrenaline issues and supposedly showed nothing. In the mean time if anyone has any good suggestions as to any supplements that may help I'm all ears, if that is allowed. Just know that I've already tried and still take some gaba, ginkgo, vinpocetine, dmae, theanine, holy basil, cdp choline and probably a couple of others. I'm not taking mega doses of any of those and haven't been taking them forever, starting most of them after the brain issues started.
