Hi, I wonder if someone can help me please.
I used to take 40mg of Propanolol on a 'when required' basis as I get panic attacks at work whilst in meetings, making presentations etc. The main issue was my heart rate would hit the roof making me breathless and unable to speak. Whilst the Propanolol didn't make me any less panicy it would mean my heart wouldn't race so I could get through it.
Myself and my H have decided we want to try for a second baby so I had a chat with my doctor yesterday and he's taken me off Propanolol (for obvious reasons) and given me 2mg of Diazepam to take instead.
My question is, will the Diazepam stop my heart racing and enable me to get through the meeting or will it simply 'chill' me out which should mean I won't get quite so anxious to start with? My worry is that I get so wound up that the Diazepam wont' stop me having a panic attack.
