Can Propranolol be taken in anxiety
My uncle has presentation/public speaking anxiety from which he has been suffering from a while.His blood pressure is normal while his pulse always stays near 100. Because of it he believes his adrenaline rush happens and his mouth got completely dry, additionally his heartbeat goes high. He is thinking of some medicine for its remedy. Someone adviced to occasionally have Propranolol when having these occasions of public speaking. Is it right way to manage anxiety.
There are other medications as well. It might go away with time as he gets experienced. I would rather prefer him to do meditation, yoga and get enough sleep to manage this conservatively without medicines. For any medicine you will need a prescription. Please meet your nearest Physician to get him checked to rule any cardiac cause.
Next Steps
I do home visits too just in case you need my appointment.
