My Dd is 16 yrs old. She started her periods at 13 and they have always been fairly regular, not like clockwork but reasonably predictable.
About a year / 18 months ago she started getting awful, really very severe migraines. She has been hospitalised with them and was also investigated for a brain tumour with an MRI which was thankfully all clear. She was put on a preventative dose of propranolol of 40mg a day (20mg x 2 a day) which has really reduced the frequency of migraines which has been great.
Over the last year she has been having her period every 2 or 3 months and not as regularly as before. I didn't actually realise this or I would have mentioned it at her last neurology appointment.
My cousin's dd has recently been diagnosed with PCOS which has lead to DD mentioning this.
The reduction does seem to tie in with the medication. I was wondering if anyone had any experience of this happening (there is no mention in the side effects leaflet) or if it would be worth getting DD checked out? (she is not keen on this!)

Has anyone experienced Propranolol effecting periods? Is this worth a Drs visit?
