Hi I had an endoscopy today at 12pm. They gave me the lidocaine/xylocaine throat spray and 2mg of the sedative midazolam.
I usually take 120mg of propanolol everyday and I hadn't taken any all day.
So I called the pharmacy and asked if I could take 40mg of propanolol because I know you're not supposed to stop beta blockers abruptly. He said there was no interaction between midazolam and propanolol so it was okay. So I took that at about 8:30pm.
However, I forgot to tell him about the xylocaine throat spray. I've looked it up and xylocaine is a powerful heart drug.
So now I'm worried that I'm going to stop breathing and die because of the propanolol and xylocaine interacting together :weep:
I'm honestly shaking so much I had no idea that a little throat spray that numbed my throat was also a powerful drug like lidocaine.
I'm waiting on a call back from NHS 24. Any advice?
