New to propanoll

Treatment and medication

I have just recently started taking this for anxiety and to control heart palpitations.  How quickly does it act on the heart rate and anxiety.  My resting rate does seem to be lower and I feel exhausted , is this a side effect? My dosage is 10mg twice a day.

thanks

What was your resting heart rate before & what is in on the propranolol? Did you take the full dosage of 10mg twice a day of only one?

Hi there,

I took this med for anxiety and palps and start feel calmer and a steady heart rate within a week.

I also went through tiredness with it at first as well. It works by keeping your heart rate steady at one level all the time, so when you exert yourself, you will experience tiredness and breathlessness. Have you also been told to not stand/ get up to quickly as you may experience dizziness? The same goes when getting up in the morning from first waking. Slowly does it

Thanks for a helpful reply. I had noticed the breathlessness.  Does it go away when your body is used to the drug  Unfortunately I have almost constant dizziness or lightheadedness because I have a postural vertigo thing going on.
