Anyon else get tgese symptoms?
you were on a very high dose and they reduce your blood pressure and slow your pulse right down so you have to be careful. I used to be on 10mg a day and I would get dizzy if I stood up too soon. The tightness in your chest may be something to keep your eye on, did you tell your doctor about that symptom?
I’ve been on this medication for migraine for about 8 years. I only take 10 mg at bedtime. I have never had even one migraine since starting propranolol . Your dose seems really high. I might ask if it needs to be so strong. It really is good to lower your blood pressure (another reason I take it) but you will get dizzy if your blood pressure goes too low.
