I am taking propranolol and the only side effects i get is slight dizziness and dry throat. I find them very useful for slowing my heart palpatations.

Firstly you should speak to your GP or if you under a Profesional then him/her at the end of the day they are your team and know you, and your particular situation.
Secondly - Propranolol (Beta Blocker) is a very effective old school first line cardiac drug that works mainly on the action of epinephrine and norepinephrine and is used in a wide range of settings.
Propranolol is generally seen as a very safe drug and I am yet to see or hear of someone dying from the prescribed dose, I have however seen it save numerous's lives.
If your GP, of all people, have prescribed you such a drug, I would be happy - and the dosage is most likely a very low dose, considering you can go into the 320's + mg for many different situations per individual.
Follow what your GP has said, and don't take too much notice of and around side effects - as drug companies put every side effect imaginable on the list whether reported or not for covering themselves.
Propranolol is a well-tolerated drug and is far safer and superior to moving onto horrendous drugs such as Antidepressants and or Diazepam.
All the best,
