Summary
The person took a beta blocker for about six months; it lowered their heart rate to around 70-80 but side effects made them stop, and they considered giving it another shot. Feverfew gave some relief at a point when ibuprofen was making them too sick. A single day of a medication left them very agitated, though they had no crash afterwards. Their overall level of function and how long they had been ill were not described.
