So after loads of tests, appointments etc it’s been confirmed that there’s nothing wrong with my heart and what I actually have is General Anxiety Disorder. So I felt a mixture of relief and being frightened. Anyway, after a long talk with the GP I’m giving propranolol a go, has anyone got any experience with them?

Yes take 10 mg when anxious helps symptoms alot x

My hubby was on them for high blood pressure due to stress. He was told to go on a strict diet without bacon or doughnuts. This was scary news so went out and bought some doughnuts and bacon, so he slowly relaxed and his blood pressure went down. He had exercise with walking, and we eat a healthy diet, with a few occasional treats. Sure the meds worked well and hope you find they work well for you.

Ok, thank you everyone. So far, so good. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way!! The physical symptoms of anxiety are really knocking me at the minute xx

I have GAD/Panic Disorder, 30 years, which I take an anti-depressant and Xanax. About a year ago my body started shaking uncontrollably for long periods of time. So scary. After the 3rd ER visit I was admitted and eventually also diagnosed with Internal Tremors. I now also take Propranolol 20 mg 3 times a day which has been a life saver for me. I did not get side effects and it has also calmed my anxiety.
