I've been taking 240mg propanolol for migraines, but ran out for about 3 days so didn't take my BP and heart rate whent sky high had to be admitted didn't realise untill I got back home from hospital doctors couldn't explain the cause does this mean I have a heart problem of sorts and propranalol was disguising another condition.

I'm on 120mg of Propranolol, half of your dose, and I do know you shouldn't just stop taking them without the ok from your doctor. I have only once tried to come off these tablets, with specialists permission, on the understanding I could go straight back on them if I didn't feel right. I lasted a day as I started to get the same horrible symptoms that I used to get before going on them. I had paroxysmal atrial tachycardia. These tablets seem to keep it in check so I'd never want to run out. I'm sure you would have been checked out for any underlying heart problems. Most likely everything that happened was as a direct result of suddenly stopping a quite hIgh dose of a drug that slows your heart rate down. Very frustrating when you are left not knowing why things happen. Good luck.
