Dear Faisal ,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Going through records , I feel that since you don't have any symptoms you can safely stop Tab Inderal and watch for any symptoms like palpitations , if palpitations present then it is better to do Holter Monitoring and then to decide whether to continue tab Inderal or not.
For your digestive problems ,if you have don't any symptoms then you can safely stop it. You can also try to prevent recurrences of acid reflux by taking food at regular intervals ,avoiding spicy foods and avoiding smoking and alcohol in case you take it. In case of recurrences you should do a Endoscope to identify the cause and meanwhile you can start Tab Omeprazole 40 mg i hr before food.
Periodically monitor your Lipid profile at least once in 2 yrs or earlier if your initial lipid profile is abnormal, daily exercise and eat healthy foods like more of fruits and green leafy vegetables and avoid junk foods.
Regards

Dear Faisal, Palpitations means unusual high heart beats and it occurs even with minimal activities.
Side Effects of Omeprazole are rare but can occurs like
Back or leg pain
Bleeding from lips
Blisters
Blood colour urine
Chills
Fever
Joint pain
Muscle ache
As long as you digestive problems you can continue Omeprazole.
As we all know that prevention is better than cure, so I suggest preventive measures like
Avoiding spicy and fried foods
Eating at regular intervals
Eating healthy foods.
Exercise
These measures can prevent digestive problems.
Stop medications once you feel relief of symptoms.
Regards
Dr Satish
