Anyone taking propranolol for MAV?

Is anyone taking propranolol for MAV? If so how long have you taken it? Is it helping your dizziness? If you have anxiety is it helping that?

I'm curious how it helps this. I know it helps migraine but how does it stop dizziness? I know it works for anxiety. If anyone has experience with this could you please reply

    I am taking it but I have only been on it for 4 days. I don't feel any different but maybe I need to give it more time. I still feel spaced out. I am on 125 MG

      I'm only taking 5mgs as I'm so worried about it. Do you feel dizzy or any weird head stuff? I missed my Monday night dose and took it again last night, woke up with nausea and this headache like pressure feeling, and dizzy. It's hard for me to tell if the dizziness is from anxiety and stress about the nausea or just plain fear of the medicine, I hate to say it but I'm afraid of meds. I feel like one side of my head is clogged and so is my nose. I'm just a complete mess with all this.
