A member asked:
My question is if panic attacks don't kill does that mean if my heart beats too fast about 160 170 during a panic attack that won't kill me? it usually lasts for 2 to 5 min untill it calm down and i take propranolol at that time (my heart is healthy?

Panic attacks are very uncomfortable but they do not kill. A rapid (regular) heart beat experienced during a panic attack is not dangerous. If this were the case, people would be dying en masse in aerobics classes.

Dr put me on symbicort for post covid cough but now I'm worried because it says that it shouldn't be taken with propranolol and I use propanolol when I'm in a bad panic attack and my heart is beating fast, is it safe to take it with that inhaler ?
During panic attack, I took propranolol. After 1 hr, heart rate is 110 bpm. Then, after relaxing, it became 70-76 bpm whole day. Is it normal?
I went to the Er with my heart racing from a panic attack, the first ECG shows a horizontal St segment depression but after they gave me propranolol , the ECG was normal , doctor isnt concerned but is it normal that a fast heart rate will cause it?
Hey, I was having a panic attack and took 10mg propranolol. About a 30 min later my heart was still racing and so I took a .25mg klonopin. 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?
