They want to treat my thyroid first

So my doctor feels that they want to try treatment my thyroid first before doing surgery so I'll be starting a new data blocker and stop taking my old one.
I'll be taking Metoprolol twice a day to help lower my heart rate
And Methimazole once a day.

I hate taking new e meds and I'm already freaking out about it.
And they did more blood work too

My wife takes 13 pills a day. How many are you up to now?

@Musicman I'll have to count when I take them tomorrow. Technically they're only adding one new medication in the replacing another one they think I've been on propranolol too long and I've kind of gotten used to it and it's no longer helping lower my heart rate so they want to change it

@Cigarguy My wife takes a pill to slow her heart rate down too. Your new pill is what she takes.

@Musicman I've been on propranolol for years to slow my heart rate but like I said they think my body has become adjusted to it and it's not working.

@Cigarguy You know I wish you all the best 🙏

@Musicman thank you. I worry about the amount of pills I have to take and would love to not have to take so many. Maybe in time I'll get my heart and mental health under control

@Cigarguy I definitely pray for you 🙏 I hope so too.
