Suffering With Asthma, Usually Take Propranolol For Anxiety. Is It Safe?
I got propranolol from my doctor because I get really anxious easily and overexaggerate things and I sweat a lot. But then I looked up what the pill does and it says Beta-blockers reduce the flow of air through the bronchials ( tubes ) in the lung . Patients who suffer from asthma should not receive these medicines which can cause severe and potentially serious wheezing . . And I have asthma so I don t think I should take it

Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Yes, you right , B-blocking agents are contraindicated in asthma and you should not take this drug. Review with your treating Physician and instead use anxiolytics medication.
I wish you good luck and speedy recovery,
Hope this helps and I have answered your query. If you have additional queries don’t hesitate to ask.
Best Regards,
Dr.Mihail
