General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Take all medications as prescribed by the doctor. If you have a pounding heart, you must go to the ER. Propranol can be given orally, once response or max dose is given, there is no need to give it. In long term research based program of art of living [sahaj samadhi meditation] can help you lot [heart rate, cholestrol, BP]. It can easily come down naturally in a few weeks; you must join this.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
