IIRC there was some discussion recently about the above re blood

beetroot, so anyone got any alternatives? Not that keen on kale either
as it happens :-)

As the patient information leaflet tells you, don't stop taking beta
blockers suddenly. That can cause serious problems. Instead, preferably
in consultation with your doctor, reduce the dose slowly over time. This
gives the body time to recover from its reliance upon the drug. You may
also find that the side effects disappear at a lower dose level. I
halved my dose over a couple of weeks and that got rid of the tiredness
and numbness in my feet that I had identified as probably being side
effects.
