Question : I took 20mg of propranolol today but only supposed to take 10. Will I be ok?
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for the query.
If you were prescribed proponolol for either palpitation or migraine, it should be okay as it is only a small dose.
Check your pulse rate and BP and it is likely that they are normal. Only if you have a pulse below 50/minute or BP below 100 systolic, should you be concerned.
Take care
