Side effects of propranolol

[Golfer63]

Has anyone experienced joint/ muscle pain mainly in the hands and shoulders from taking propranolol.

I do get shoulder pain plus very cold hands.

Thank you for the reply. My hands get sweaty but my feet get cold. My cardio days that those are not side effects caused by the drug but what I read is different. Going to make an appt with my gp and discuss. Thanks again!

Luckily my feet are fine but my hands turn into ice blocks which take hours to warm up.Roll on the warmer weather.

Hi Golfer63. From my personal experience there are a variety of side effects and some folk experience some of these. For me they were leg pain and cramp, very cold feet and a tiredness such that I could lie down at almost any time of the day and nod off. Fortunately I came off the drug two weeks ago, not needing a replacement, and all these effects have gone. If you have not already done so, suggest you talk to your GP about an alternate. Good luck...Pablo

Thanks Pablo,

How many days after you stopped taking the bb did you notice some relief from the effects. I am a 1 1/2 days off cardvenilol and still feeling horrible.

Golfer63 - it was a gradual process over about a fortnight. Hang in there - it will come good I feel. Best wishes_Pablo

Yes, wrist neck & shoulder ache. I think though that these as secondary effects, caused by the extreme tiredness that seems to come with bisoprolol.

hi

Until recently I had been experiencing joint pain in hands. I had a BP check about 6 weeks ago after feeling very lightheaded about 90 minutes after taking Ramipril and Lacidipine. My BP was 100/68 so GP reduced Lacidipine to 4mg and have noticed since then joint pain has disappeared. I also take 20mg propanalol each day and have for a few years and haven’t associated joint pain with that particular medication.
