My doctor prescribed me some Hyoscine Butylbromide (Buscopan?) and he knows I'm on Propranolol..so I came home googled this..

Heart failure and I know propranolol slows the heart down..so I'm now tempted to not take these new meds incase my heart stops? :ohmy:

I agree with Dahlia - it means if you already have heart faliure NOT that it can cause it.

Maybe you misread it.

It means that people who have suffered heart failure in the past should take it with caution. I presume you are taking Propranolol for anxiety, not heart disease?

Yes I take it for anxiety should be fine then..
