HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The half life of a medication is the time it takes for the amount of medication in the body to decrease by half.
It takes approximately 3 to 4 half lives for a medication to mostly be elimated from the body.
The half life of break down active part of propanolol is 5.2 to 7.5 hours . This means that it would take approximately 15 to 30 hours for it to be eliminated.
It should be mostly be out of your system after 2 days. This means that you may need to consider seeing your doctor to rule out other causes for your symptoms.
I hope this helps
