A member asked:
I sometimes get chest pain while taking 10mg propanolol for anxiety. is this just a side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety/side effect : Anxiety itself can cause chest pain, however it could also be a side effect of the propranolol. I would mention it to your prescribing physician. Also consider, when does the pain start? How long does it last? Does anything make it worse? Does it go away when you're feeling calmer? Any other symptoms like shortness of breath or dizziness?

A member asked:
If im very late taking my dose of propranolol in the morning, I get very breathless. Is this a symptom of propranolol withdrawal, or is it more likely I have another condition that is being alleviated by taking propranolol. I only take it for anxiety?
