hello
i'm really in a mess here. i've been taking propranolol for about a week.
started on 40mg 3 times a day but was having breathing difficulties on day 2 so my doc advised me to split the tablets and take 20mg 3 times a day.
it's worked (a little). after my first tablet at 8am i feel great usually until around 4pm when i have been taking my 2nd tablet. this is when the anxiety seems to set in and i have breathing problems, chest pains, panic attacks etc.. for the rest of the night.
today i haven't taken my 2nd tablet and i'm feeling scared, my head feels cloudy and i can feel my chest tightening & my temperature rising. i dont' know whether i'm feeling like this because i'm panicking since i haven't taken the tablet or if i'm feeling like this because i'm allergic to or i'm having a reaction to the tablets.
has anyone else been through this, i know it's a low dose so i'm guessing it's more me but i'm petrified of taking another tablet incase it kills me. i really don't know what to do.
