My doctor has prescribed propranolol as I am suffering with severe anxiety-although I'm not entirely convinced it's just that!
Tight chest, I feel like I can't breathe(even though I'm breathing), feels a constant lump in my throat, heart is never less than 85bpm(I'm 34 female, very slim but NEVER exercise therefore I'm very unfit), heart palpitations... I could go on all night with this!
Anyway, I'm desperate for some relief from these physical symptoms but, being a huge wimp, I'm terrified and too anxious(yes, yes I see the irony!!) to take the bloody medication! Catch 22...
Anyone who has had any experience with taking these tablets, I'd love a reply!
Thanks in advance

I've been takeing 20 mg of proranolol a day for 8 weeks now ( along side with a antidepressant) and I must say for me I feel a lot better than I did
I couldn't even get out of bed for fear of anxiety and panic and now I even pop to the shop I'm a hell of a long way from better but I've defanaitly noticed improvement.
I never even used to take paracetamol Cus I didn't like takeing tablets. I no every one is different but I would recomend them

I'm in the throes of an anxiety attack right now... One of the kids woke up and I woke with my heart racing-nothing unusual there. I tried to get back to sleep but every time I started to fall asleep I t felt as though I wasn't inhaling again so I'd wake up with a jolt. Now my heart rate is at 68bpm-unheard of for me lately! I feel very tense... Wtf is going on?! I'm at my white end and if it weren't for my children, I'd probably throw in the towel!
