Hi and welcome to ehealthforum! Posted: 03-28-08 07:34am
Patients recently withdrawn from beta
blockers may develop a withdrawal syndrome
with increased angina, probably related to
increased sensitivity to catecholamines.
This is a transient sympathetic
hyperresponse (the amounts of
catecholamines aren't reised, but
sensitivity to them is increased) and it's
symptoms are transient palpitations,
tremor, sweating, headache, anxiety and
general malaise.
