HI, I stopped taking Propranolol after 10 years of 40mg twice a day due to Bradycardia, I have weened down to zero over a 6 month period, I am now 10 days clear and my heart rate when i wake up is still in the mid 40s, has anyone done this and has their heart rate come back up and how long did it take?. Thanks in advance.

Hi there , I have been on propanolol for quite a few years but I was put on it for anxiety issues. I take 150mg slow release once a day . If I miss taking them I notice after about 8 hours my heart feels like its racing and I do get palpitations.Have you stopped them yourself or on the advice of a doctor ?

Doctor stopped them because my heart rate was 40bpm
