It is highly: unlikely that you will develop heart block at 19 years old regardless of the dose of propranolol. A heart rate of 55 BPM at rest is completely acceptable. Stop worrying.

I take propranolol for anxiety. When resting, my heart rate can get into the 50's. Is this ok?

I was just prescribed 10 mg of propranolol twice a day as needed for anxiety because my heart rate can reach 160 and Bp 170/100 depending on how bad the panic attack is. However, my resting heart rate is 55 - 60, will it lower my heart rate more?
