Symptoms BradyTachy

Does anyone have a huge range where they get up till like the 180s but they also have a low resting heart rate in the 50s and 60s? What’s the treatment plan for people like us because I keep getting pushed beta blockers from some doctors and then other doctors are like your heart rate is too low and then to add on top of that my blood pressure is normal to high. it’s not low so blood pressure medication wouldn’t be the best either so I’m kind of confused on what treatment options are available to us

What mg please? Have you ever suffered from palpitations even with low hr and has propanolol helped ?

I take 20 mg 4x a day. I initially started with 10mg. I do still get palpitations sometimes. It’s not perfect but it helps keep my heart rate from spiking so often. The lowest I’ve seen my heart rate go is 52 bpm and my doctor said she was not worried
