Is Propranolol Advisable When Diagnosed With Low Resting Heart Rate?
Question: I have been prescribed propranolol 40mg twice a day for anxiety. However, sometines my reating heart rate is in tbe low 50's, i have had countless ecg's and a 24 hour monitor and my heart is fine. Is it safe to take propranolol with a resting heart rate in tbe low 50s?
Brief Answer:
Have these low heart rates been confirmed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I suggest that this gets confirmed first. If this is confirmed, then it is not safe taking propranolol with such low rates. Counting might be difficult and I will like to see this confirmed by a nurse or a physician.
I wish you well and hope to hear from you!

they have not been confirmed by a doctor but I have my own blood pressure monitor at home and use this. my blood pressure is usually around 122/80 and my pulse right now is 57 bpm.
Brief Answer:
A pulse of 57 is okay especially if you are physically fit!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
A ouse of 57 is okay and this is probably related to the medication. There will be no reason to get worried with this. The blood pressure is normal as well.

i haven't taken the medicatiob yet, that is my normal resting rate.
Brief Answer:
When did you last take it?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This drug might stay in the body for as many as 12hours. When did you last take it? If this is the normal pulse rate without the drug in the last 24hours, then I will not recommend using this to treat your anxiety condition.
Help clarify me on this!
