Anyone offer me some urgent advice.

Hope all goes well.
Just tell them about your tinnitus but if helps get your heart in sinc then it's got to be a good thing....

I took propranolol (same chemical family) for years and it never seemed to make the tinnitus worse.

 

Hi

What dose did you take?

 

I took it daily at range of 40-80mg. It was actually for about two years. I was using it as an anti-anxiety medication (it blocks the effects of adrenaline to some extent.)

 

I've seen the figure for tinnitus as a side-effect quoted as being about 1%. As to what it may do with existing tinnitus I don't know. A stroke from rapid AF however could open Pandora's music box.
