Important Considerations and When to Consult a Doctor

Never adjust your propranolol dosage without your doctor’s guidance. Incorrect dosage can lead to adverse effects.

Report any new or worsening symptoms immediately, including unusual fatigue, dizziness, or changes in heart rate or breathing.

Propranolol interacts with other medications. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you’re taking.

Consider your overall health. Pre-existing conditions like asthma or heart problems may influence propranolol’s suitability.

Symptom Action
Severe dizziness or fainting Seek immediate medical attention.
Rapid or irregular heartbeat Contact your doctor immediately.
Shortness of breath Consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Severe allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) Call emergency services.

Regular check-ups with your doctor are necessary while on propranolol to monitor your progress and adjust the dosage if needed. Discuss your anxiety management plan with your doctor to find the best approach for your individual needs. This may include therapy or other anxiety-reducing strategies.

If you experience persistent or worsening anxiety despite propranolol, talk to your doctor. They can explore alternative treatment options or adjust your current treatment plan.
