Beer and chf : You should discuss your diagnosis with your doctor and get an understanding of what is wrong and what you need to be doing going forward.

Avoid alcohol.: I hope you are well. You are on medications that interact with each other (propranolol and PTU) and adding alcohol would worsen the interactions. The effects of propranolol are increased by alcohol. Propranolol can worsen heart failure. PTU can also increase the effects of propranolol. I suggest that you have a medication review with your primary care professional, ASAP. I hope this helps.

Dear Doctor, I usually take 1mg of Xanax maybe 2-3X's per week for extreme anxiety when it happens. I don't take it for no reason. I took 1mg earlier today at 10:30am PST. If I wait (6) hours can I drink a 6pk or so of beer? I am 6' 2" and 360lb
