Avatar m tn Propranalol is an extremely good beta-blocker to take for stage fright, although 10mg is a very low dose. I take 40mg x 2 times a day to my general anxiety and find it helps a great deal. Maybe, under doctors supervision, you could try a higher dose but with your angioplasty please consult your doctor befor doing so, as they do lower blood pressure and slow the heart.
1312221 tn?1273722932 Propanolol is Inderal and Metoprolol is another name for the medication Lopressor. Both meds are beta blockers, and while they are in the same class of medications, they vary a bit in their chemical make-up and action. Inderal is the most commonly prescribed beta blocker for the treatment of anxiety or anxiety-related symptoms (ie fast heart rate, palpitations, blushing, etc).
Avatar f tn Okay.. Thanks And no I have non of those , she told me to have them for my head pains (which have sort of disappeared regardless) and my anxiety..I've not had them yet.. Just worried to.. But I've been told of so many times by the doctors..
612551 tn?1450022175 This has all led to me being on Metoprolol (Beta Block) for several years. This is taken to keep my heart rate under control (in the 80s at rest). A unwanted side effect that came with it was a too low blood pressure, and some related dizziness problems. I noticed in recent times that my BP is around normal, no more too low BP.
Avatar f tn Whenever I feel like I have to pee lately I almost get like stage fright for a few moments and then I start going with no problems sometimes like a "racehorse"...no pain but its a bothersome problem waiting to go like that? any problem?
Avatar n tn This has put me on the side lines for promotion as my ability to stand for what I believe in is doubted by senior management. What can I do to overcome this. When I read stage fright symptoms, my situation seems to fit.
Avatar n tn Hello. I recently started taking atenolol for stage fright, 50 to 100 mg once to twice a week. it worked great! until after several weeks i started getting a sensation of irregular heart beats. i have been off of it now for 2 weeks and i still get a skipped heart beat sensation followed by a very forceful heart beat. i checked my pulse and there is a long (couple of seconds?) pause in the heart beats when i get that feeling.
Avatar m tn I have had the feeling of nausea (without actually vomitting) for two months now -- also stomach pains especially in the morning and when I have not eaten. It gets much more worse under slight pressure (lecturer office hours, while teaching infront of many students, while presenting).. I have to say that I haven't had that before, I have no fright of stage and I have given lectures infront of big audiences for years now without this problem.
Avatar m tn s/p quadruple bypass and pacemaker. this is not stage fright. feel like someone is pushing to complete the recitation in hurry! thyroid profile, BMP and all other health maintenance tests normal. will propanolol help?
Avatar f tn s a beta-blocker mostly used to lower blood pressure but sometimes used for performance anxiety situations like stage fright, exam taking, job interviews etc. He's used it with other patients experiencing ED. I also do take the beta-blocker pindolol which has kept my BP at 125/70 for years. Shrink says very occasional and use of propranolol on top of pindolol should not be a problem but I still have concerns which I will run by my GP.
Avatar f tn So I have been with my man for 6 years in December. We're engaged and I love him to pieces. There was a portion of time where our relationship was rocky. I got with another guy. No excuses. I confessed and it almost destroyed us but, after some time, he forgave me and we worked it out. For a time after that I felt very guilty and didn't want to have sex with my bf at the time (now fiance). He has been very patient with me.
Avatar m tn I used and still use today Metoprolol as a cardiac rhythm stabilizer, for mild hypertension, and for heart attack survivability although there is now some doubt on that claim. For the earlier two though it works excellent with little to no side effects. But if you're anxious, if I were you, I'd want to try some of the SSRI drugs like Paxil or an SNRI like Venlafaxine (Effexor) both which worked great for my wife. Just a cautionary note on Effexor.
443862 tn?1237999439 Alright maybe I'm a jerk for saying this to everyone who says it helps their anxiety... Has anyone ever found the correlation of Metoprolol AND Ativan? I used to take Mestinon and it works a LOT better for fast heart rate than metoprolol. But when the dose starts to wear off you need ativan to carry you into the next dose or your body will become dependant and crash before you take the next dose of Mestinon. And its not Metoprolol that helps anxiety.
Avatar f tn im due my little girl tomorrow and hadnt as far as i know lost my mucus plug... until i went to the toilet this morning.. i went the first time for a wee and wiped and everything was normal... went back again half an hour later (very weak bladder at this stage lol) and when i wiped there was a jelly like substance on the toilet paper it was a yellow colour no blood... is this my mucusplug or discharge. Normally my discharge is white but this was jelly like and yellow in colour?
Avatar f tn Honestly I did it with 3/4 of my previous, the last one I got to 7cm without even knowing I was in labor! They did need to use pitocin still with her cause I guess she had stage fright lol. Mind over matter! I'm SERIOUS. I never knew any different until the last so it was fine for me, and besides I'm so committed to natural birth for my baby and me. The pain is temporary with a wonderful result in the end!
Avatar m tn hey, it sounds to me you have stage fright and worry about it to much. believe me I am the same. try joining up witht the local theator and practice acting, or try taking some acting lessons or speach lessons. it will help!
Avatar n tn First, I am a 25 year old male, in great health. I was masturbating and I vomited, and this was the first time it happened. I felt fine before, and the nausea persisted for a bit after. Now every time I masturbate, i fell like I am going to vomit; but have yet to vomit again. It is starting to worry me a bit, cause I sometimes have trouble urinating. Its kinda like I get 'stage fright' and unable to start the flow. After 'pushing' for about 45 seconds, it usually starts.
Avatar m tn Anxiety and stress are known to be a contributor to Afib; however, I would think that 'severe fright' would cause afib only in one who is already prone to afib for one reason or another. I don't believe that severe fright would cause afib in and of itself without some other risk factors present. If someone is prone to afib though, and/or has had past occurrences of it, I would suspect that the stress and anxitety of extreme fear could trigger an attack.
Avatar n tn My little guy would hide. Any time I'd try to get his dad to feel him he would just stop. Like he got stage fright. Lol. Now he's too big to hide and there is no denying the movements.
Avatar n tn my 3 year old had a bad fright a few weeks ago now wetting pants and very angry help pls
Avatar f tn Of interest, propranolol is one of the banned substances in the Olympics, presumably for its use in controlling stage fright and tremors....Propranolol is currently being investigated as a potential treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Thanks for your questions. If you have any other questions or comments you are welcome to respond.
Avatar f tn I am on 25mg of metoprolol for my pvcs, pacs, and svt. I have realized the past week or so it doesn't seem like my medication is easing my symptoms. Is this usual for us to build a tolerance for the medication? Are there other options other than surgery? Or perhaps another beta blocker that I could try? Ideas? Thank you in advance!
Avatar n tn I agree with the above reply, with the exception of the info that propanolol needs to be taken daily. Beta blockers like Inderal are often prescribed "as needed" to combat stage fright, presentation anxiety. They're usually prescribed to be taken within a certain time frame (usually an hour or so) before the anxiety causing event. I do agree that taking both medications isn't necessary, and could exacerbate symptoms of drowsiness, dizziness, etc.
