✅ 1. Why you are not getting relief with 10 mg IR Propranolol immediate-release (IR) 10 mg is a very low dose. Its effect lasts only 4–6 hours, so heart rate control may be incomplete. You were earlier on SR 20 mg, which provides 24-hour steady control, so you naturally felt better on that. ✅ 2. Switching back to SR 20 mg For most adults, Propranolol SR 20 mg once daily is a safe and commonly used low dose for controlling: Tachycardia due to anxiety/stress Mild palpitations Slightly elevated pulse So yes, switching back is generally okay — BUT only if your doctor has not restricted the dose for blood pressure or any other reason. ⚠️ Important Safety Points Before switching back: Check BP → If systolic < 100 mmHg, avoid taking SR. Check pulse → If pulse < 55 bpm, avoid. Avoid if you have asthma, COPD, severe heart block, acute heart failure. Take SR once daily at same time. 📌 Suggested regimen (common clinical practice) Propranolol SR 20 mg once daily → Provides smooth 24-hour control of heart rate Avoid combining SR + IR unless doctor advises.

Yes, you can switch back to Propranolol SR 20 mg if 10 mg immediate-release is not controlling your pulse, but do this only after informing your doctor, as the dosing and duration of action are different.

Why was propranolol prescribed. Share your history, symtomatology and investigations for proper opinion

Yes  you can

Good question. Propranolol is a non-selective beta blocker. So, if you're taking it for heart rate control, it's not the best drug for rate control; other drugs are better. But if you're taking it for anxiety or migraine, you can decrease the dose depending on symptoms.

Kindly do not switch doses on your own. proper history needed as to why you are taking this?

Need more history, why were you taking propranolol. If it's for heart related problem need to be monitored. If you're taking for migraine prophylaxis SR can be fine, but heart rate need to be monitored.

Propanolol works on cardiac channels which inhibits it and slows down the heart rate, but nowadays stress is prevalent which is the reason most young patients I see have tachycardia(heartbeats more than 100) so, can you tell me who prescribed it and why
