The such a lot I've taken was once 3. And I felt a bloodless sweat. The scale down was once a sweet guy passing out benzos left and correct. He even prescribed me anguish drugs. And he gave me plenty of them. But he inspiration this proptanolol beta blocker might aid me with public speakme. He stated to be very cautious with them. I do not believe you are going to die from 70 mg. of propnanol. But as a fellow human with situation, you could name your medical professionals nurse and provide an explanation for what you probably did. Ask her what you will have to do. Beta blockers manipulate your center, so it may be hazardous. And I do not wish a tender individual harm or some thing. Best of good fortune.

You will be fine. Its a beta blocker. It slows your heart rate, it may even make you a little sluggish until you adjust to the dose. Usually, they start with a very small dose and increase it as needed.
It is a drug used for hypertension.
I have been on beta blockers for many years because I have high blood pressure and a fast heart.
Dont worry about it. The side effects are minimal.

It's a beta blocker. Beta blockers are often prescribed in the US, but they are used less often in the UK, where they are viewed more skeptically.
