    Visited my G.P as hd very severe anxiety and a terrfying rapid heart rate yesterday....my G.P. assures me that it is hugely unlikely to be any cause for concern..but said that this medication would reduce my at times rapid pulse...has anyone experience of it?
    Thanks

    I was on it for a while a few years ago along with mercazole, being treated for graves.
    I had no problems with inderal but the potential side effects are scary from what I remember but like I siad it caused me no problems
    I don't think it something you can remain on for long time though.
    The mercazole on the other hand was a nightmare I was grand on it for ages and out of the blue took a severe allergic reaction it.:rolleyes:

    I think thats the same as the first med i was on for this. Think mine was half inderal tho. For me it worked for slowing down the heart rate a bit and thus preventing panic attacks or the sweats but i was only on it for a very short time so i cant really say what its like on a longer term. I didnt suffer any side affects while on it tho.

    Haven't actually started to take them yet..keeping them in reserve...as I haven't had palpitations since I visited the doctor!..difficult day today though..on a tour bus..which hugged the coastline!...I'm in some way phobic of heights..loads of cliffs and mountains...sounds irrational..but terrible!..I do feel I learned though...had a fear of heights as a child..but due to simply lack of exposure to heights I had largely forgotten it existed!...a day of some terror today!
