For Supraventricular Tachycardia "I have had palpitations for 18 years - it affected my life so badly that I eventually became agoraphobic for several years. I could do very little in the way of activity without having episodes. I was started out at 20 mg a day and gradually worked my way up to 80 mg, but the 80 mg caused me problems. So I settled in at 40 mg a day for many years until a few years ago. I, for some reason, was having increased episodes in longer durations - at one point having continuous palpitations for 5 hours straight. Not for the faint of heart. I ended up increasing my dosage to 60 mg a day with no problems. 40 mg and then 12 hours later 20 mg. It seems to help and has also lessened the impact of those beats that feel like your heart is jumping out of your chest."

Nadolol for Migraine Prevention "Now 42, I took Corgard for migraines when I was a very healthy and active 14-year-old. It did not help with migraines, but did leave me with lifelong low blood pressure and heart palpitations. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone. It has impacted my ability to do anything that gets my heart rate up significantly. I am, and always have been, very physically active and in shape. So my lifelong issues from taking this medication do not come from lifestyle choices."
