I have a really odd phobia when it comes to medications. I'm very ocd about storing them at the right temperature, their interactions/chemical reactions etc.
Basically just now I put some pizza in the oven. While waiting I took my medication (a beta blocker called propranolol, and without water, so it was kind of hard to swallow and stayed in my mouth for a few minutes - stupid I know, but I'm lazy sometimes) then a couple moments later I took the pizza out of the oven, I ate some, mostly the topping, played about with it for a few minutes then realized it wasn't cooked enough. So I put it back in for a final blast for about 5 minutes.
Basically now I'm worried traces of the propanolol that were in my mouth were on my fork (highly likely) and were mixed in with the topping and got heated up in the oven. I ate a bit more of it then realized this, so I threw the food away. I'm really scared that heating propranolol may have altered the chemicals or produced some kind of fumes and could be toxic. I can't find any medical literature on what happens to beta blockers when exposed to high temperatures, so I'm freaking out. How can I calm down?
