Recently I was diagnosed with v/v. The doctor prescribed 5 mg. Pindolol. I am experiencing very harsh side effects, headaches, nausea, and and extreme drowsiness. I was hoping to find anyone that is or has used Pindolol before. How long do these side effects last, and has anyone had any success with this medication?

He said that when one drop of fluid gets in the ear canal that it throws my balance off. I consantly take my allergy medication but when I fly on airlines at times my ears bleed, when I use athletic equipment at the gym I get disorinated and at times sudden movement makes me dizzy. After reading these articles I am not sure that I don't have vaso-vagal
