    Not much you can do really now having taken them..

    Don't take anymore propanalol for the next day or two, 30mgs is a low dose..is used for anxiety and panic attacks, palpitations.

    I take 2 x80mg= 160mgs morning and night.

    You may feel light headed, a little dizzy, propranolol is a Vaso dilator, dilates arteries to help with blood flow, prevents getting agitated.

    Dont worry you will be fine.. try and get a larger dose in one so you don't need to take so many tablets make it easier to manage. Speak with your practitioner and mention the error, they can help you with the doses.

    First were they all propranolol or both your meds? Second why would you do that? I tried 80mgs twice a day but it was to much for me so if it was 90 of propranolol you should be ok but i would call your doctors office and find out the answering service can reach your doctor and find out for you
