Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Deb, I bought a cheap Palm Pilot especially for that. It reminds me to take my medicine. It doesn't have any limits to how often the alarm goes off.

Anyway, it has helped a lot, and I haven't had any bloody noses. In fact, the propranolol has helped keep my varicies from bleeding. I'm wondering if instead of being from the drug, your husband's nose bleeds are related to an elevated INR. If he has varicies from cirrhosis, then there's a good bet that his INR is high. You might want him to get some labs to rule this out since he could start bleeding from those varicies if his INR is high regardless of what his BP is doing. The only thing I've noticed about propranolol is that I sometimes forget to take it at the right times and I immediately see my BP and heart rate go up if I miss a dose. (I have to take pills 5 times a day right now, and my watch only has three alarms. I reserve the alarms for the anti-rejection drugs since they're by far the most important!)I hope this helps!Best Wishes,Deb in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
