Cold sweats and stressful
A few hours after taking the beta blockers for the first time, I had a horrible low blood pressure incident where I felt like I was about to pass out. I would not recommend this drug at all.

Hi Benjamin, we’re sorry to hear you had that experience. Propranolol is an FDA-approved medication that has been safely prescribed for decades to treat both high blood pressure and, off-label, performance anxiety. Its mechanism of action naturally lowers heart rate and blood pressure, which can occasionally cause mild lightheadedness in an isolated number of patients. This is a known and temporary effect, not a sign of danger or misuse. It’s important that patients experiencing side effects reach out to their doctor or our Care Team should you begin to experience any side effects.
