Just took my blood pressure and its 96/45 I took a propranolol about hour ago could th is be why I'm freaking out so much feel like I have to force myself to breath!!
What dosage of Prorpanalol are you on? How long have you been taking them? I suggest you call your surgery and speak to anyone that can help you. Alternatively make an appointment with the Doctor. If you have been taking the Propanalol less than 2 weeks then you need to give it a bit more time, otherwise the dosage may need altering.
I was on 80mg but dropped down to 40mg and been taking It for a couple months
Hi there michaela,
I am so sorry for what you are experiencing today , let me assure you there are people like myself who care , who understand and who are right there for you in mind and spirit.
It is frightening what you are going through as you clearly describe.
Let me tell you even though i am not a medic i have been in hopsital multiple times enough to explain your blood pressure is to low.
I would definetely advise you to walk into an A+E asap.
Drink loads of water as well this will help you to rehydrate.
When anxiety strikes it is cruel and for sure we struggle to breath and panic sets in.
Paramedics will often advise you to blow into a paper bag .
Sit down when this occurs and blow slowly into a paper bag.
I dont know why but this does work, trust me i know what I am talking about.
Get medical advice on any of the meds you take as any of them if you are on different ones may trigger these anxiety and panic issues.
Know you are far from alone.
Stay on board here as I am also new in here and within the past 24 hrs have found this place to be a zone of HELP and SUPPORT.
its difficult to cope on your own with anxiety and this is obe way we can all support each othere in the good days and the bad ones
Hugs
PJ
Thankyou so much for your reply!! I didn't go hospital just left it iv just checked it it's now 110/64 so it's abit better I hope ur ok xxx
hi shell your bp is too low some people do have low blood presure if it has always been low that might
lovely to hear back from you Michaela .
there is something i have learned in the past 24 hrs of finding this forum site.
we really need to be around for each other and gain all that inner strength from when we feel so low and isolated and at other times encourage one another and give back .
In all this we do really then have a chance .
Hugs
PJ
you are right Mary.
