Hello I'm new here

[Derryn]

Hello....my name is Derryn...I live in Wales but am originally from Cornwall...I have been reading the forums for about 8 months and it has really helped me....I have OCD and anxiety...but mostly I have PVC's....I've had them checked out with a holter and echo and they are benign..I started on Propranolol in November 22 and it seemed to really help to start with ..I'm now on 10mg TDS...but the ectopics are worse than ever...all day every day...I work full time at home and they don't stop..I used to only get them when standing up ...so working was a relief from them ...but not now ..they don't stop..I'm medically trained but am worried the propranolol is actually making them worse now ..I called my GP about a month ago and he wanted to put me on Sertraline...I don't want it as its the ectopics making me anxious and I just want a break from then...I really can't cope with them anymore ...I probably don't have 10% so they won't do anything .. but please can anyone advice me what to do? Should I call the GP again for help or just suffer them...TIA
