Thankyou for your reply weeden. This is the third different meds I been on now the first was sertraline they made me fall over the second med was escitalopram they gave me the shakes most of the day now this one propranolol which I struggle to breathe is it normal to get through lots of different drugs to find the right one, I don’t know.
I remembered once that I was on meds that gave me terrible headaches, dizziness, nasuea and shortness of breath. The dosage was too high, after lowering the dosage, haven't had a problem since.
I've read people with asthma cannot take certain high blood pressure meds (beta blockers) effects breathing. Propanolol was one of them. Certain beta blockers slows down receptors in your lungs. Your doctor should know this.
