Re: 12 years then taken off
I'm not familiar with the other meds you talk about, but I do know that if you're asthmatic, the docs are usually nervous about prescribing propranolol as it can aggravate asthma. That could be one reason you've been taken off it. However, there are other beta blockers that don't aggravate asthma so much so ask your GP about those.
I took propranolol from 2007 to 2015 and although I wasn't diagnosed with asthma...after all the tests for it...I did suffer breathlessness while taking it, which has more or less disappeared since changing over to another beta blocker called Bisoprolol.
If I miss taking it for more than a few days though, I become very twitchy and more aware of my heartbeats which makes me feel uncomfortable.
