Struggling today, I'm at work and in serious pain. Both arms, lower back and now tight chest :( no anxiety relief as I've already had 80mg propranolol and it hasn't even touched me :( I must look like a idiot to people :(

I'm sorry you're having a bad day, hun. Try to stay positive. I know its tough right now but you're doing so well by being at work whilst going through this.

dont put yourself down, and remember everyone else around you probably also struggles with something.... Take strength in knowing you're not alone in this.

I had a bad night last night and am recovering today by being kind to myself :) Lifes too short to feel miserable.

Can I ask what you mean when u say both arms? I am currently sat in bed at 1.10am with a painful right arm and hand, woke up after an hour of being in bed and my arm was painful tingly dead feeling, still sore now after nearly an hour, feels like when u sit on your foot and get up its dead and painful that's how my arm and hand feel.

I get this too, exact same symptoms and I too am on propanolol. I find it does very little for me. I get a lot of muscle pain.

I tell the doctor to no avail. Thinking of trying different medication as I am over riding the propanolol.

Just so you know you are not alone
