kestrellI think I diagnosed why I have been feeling so exhausted and depressed for the past few days.
I had been thinking it was due to having had minor surgery a couple weeks ago, though it seemed odd that I felt great for the first week. Then yesterday I had a dental appt. and my blood pressure was really low, low enough that the dentist almost reconsidered doing the filling.
But the low pressure made something tick into place, and when I got home I googled propranolol side effects and, yes, side effects can include weakness and tiredness, insomnia and nightmares, all of which have been a big issue in the past week.
I take propranolol to help prevent migraines and, since I have had a significant increase in migraines this summer, my neurologist increased the dose by 20 mg the day before my surgey. I hadn't thought of it previously because I had never experienced any side effects to the propranolol before, while I always feel exhausted and depressed for a few weeks after surgery.
I've gone back to my previous dosage and will just deal with the migraines, because having no spoons and feeling depressed kicks my ass worse than the migraines.
