User Comments about Propranolol Hydrochloride

21 Jul 2016	I have been taking Propranolol for one month and after three weeks I experienced two spells of mental malaise, I had an unpleasant sense of discomfort and tension in my head accompanied by fatigue, and had to stop what I was doing to rest on my bed. Today the same symptoms were accompanied by severe and frightening cardiac arythmia lasting around four hours and I still feel unwell. From these symptoms I'm guessing that the drug is badly affecting my blood pressure. —Posted by Runningbrook Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
