Horrible feeling after taking beta blocker
I’m a very calm and healthy person. I occasionally experience anxiety in the car, but overall, I’m happy and not generally anxious. I requested a beta blocker for a big performance that’s coming up soon, and I decided to test it beforehand. The first time, I took half a pill (5 mg). Almost instantly, my tongue went numb and I became extremely thirsty. Then, about 15 minutes later, I started feeling strange. I couldn’t calm down—I felt very anxious and uncomfortable. I went to the gym and felt better after working out. A few days later, I decided to test it again. This time, I took a full pill (10 mg). Once again, I experienced tongue numbness and thirst, followed by intense anxiety. I kept walking around the house and couldn’t settle down. I felt my own heart beat. I even told my husband that if something happened, he needed to know what I had taken. I texted the online doctor, but he just said it wasn’t a normal reaction. That is it! I guess it’s not for me. Now I have 60 pills left that I will never take again. I’m not sure what caused this reaction, but it was absolutely horrible
