I'm going on a flight for 4 hours & would like to know if my prescribed 80mg propranolol will stop my panic /claustrophobia, thanks ?

Use simple breathing: Techniques to relax yourself. Simply focus on your breathing and think "relax" as you inhale and slowly exhale. If you can slow down your breathing it will help you to calm the panic symptoms. Consider meeting with a psychologist to learn hypnosis and do progressive desensitiztion in the future.
