Propranolol will help you with the palpitations and bp control. You should take it as advised by your doctor.

It depends entirely on the dosage and if you are taking any other medications, particularly inhalers prescribed for asthma or any other chest and/or breathing problems. People with asthma cannot take propanalol or any other beta-blockers. You will find that once you have established a routine taking, say, 20mg in the morning and 10mg in the evening or whatever else you feel comfortable with, then you will be okay. The sensation of not 'feeling' your heart beat so quickly or be aware of your heart at all is a glorious relief as I know from my own experience. If your doctor is fully booked for any length of time you could always ask for advise from your pharmacist.

I've been on these for over a year... 40mg.. 1 tablet 3 times a day. So 120mg. They are brilliant ... Don't make you drowsy or anything ... They help with the physical symptoms of anxiety... Like heart palpitation .. Shaking... Sweating.. They really do help... I take mine.. One in the morning one around 2pm then one around 7pm... They really do help so take them as yur doctor advised you!! Xxxx I hope this helps Xx

They kinda give me a headache but its because I sometime take them on a empty stomach and not enought water.

But they have really helped me.

Good luck! You will be fine. I was scared at first too but I was fine.
