I am a 30 year old male and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I also had several episodes of panic attacks. After 4 months of treatment with carbimazole & propranolol, I am now clinically euthyroid and there's no more panic attacks & tachycardia.
I have been doing brisk walking for last one month. I started slowly, but now I walk briskly on plain surface, slopes and stairs. I walk approx 2 miles everyday for 45 minutes.
I have been still advised to be on Carbimazole 20 mg.
But I used to get panic attacks in form of tachycardia and palpitations. I have been taking Propranolol for last 3 months and have tapered it off to 5 mg 2 times a day. Because of the persistent symptoms of panic attacks, my endocrinologist referred me to a psychiatrist. She diagnosed me as having Mixed Anxiety Depression. She prescribed me:
25 mg Sertraline - Once in a day
0.
did when you intailly started on the lexapro did it make you more anxious or have panic attacks.
It was confirmed by a Cardiologist that due to that, I have very sensitive Autonomic nervous system as I am very hypersensitive man and get severe Anxiety/Panic attacks.

0.25 mg Clonazepam - Twice in a day
She also asked me to continue with Propranolol like I did.

Usually before exercise (as my heart rate got a little high during exercise when I was nervous, and I got palpitations) or when being stressed because it had a great effect preventing panic. My panic attacks stopped completely when taking propranolol, and I never had a racing heart.
So, propranolol has often great effect on the fight/flight response. What it doesn't work against (at least not in my case), is that nagging, uncertainty-like kind of anxiety.
If the same doctor prescribed both these medications for you, then you can trust it's safe to take them together.......but you must read the labels! Sometimes "together" doesn't mean "at the same time." Some meds need to be taken with food and some on an empty stomach, some in the morning and some at night. If you have any questions about how to take these meds, call your doctor or pharmacist for the correct dosing schedule.
Hello,
I recently gave birth to my son 4 weeks ago and during my pregnancy I was put on Propranolol 20mg twice a day to help lower my blood pressure and also because I was having panic attacks that would cause heart palpitations. Now fast forward to now I recently have been having heart palpitations resting, lying down, standing up too fast, sitting down too fast, bending over, you name it I’ve been been having them consistently throughout the day.
It took me 2 weeks ago to the ER , they did ekg, chest xray and bloodwork. They sent me home and said I was having panic attacks. I have had 3 EKGS so far, wore a 24hr holter monitor, echo w/contrast, bloodwork, and as I said a chest xray . Also had a abdominal ct scan 5 months ago. All was ok.. but I still worry because of this cycle of pvc's , panic attacks. Should I be worried about blockages? I am losing my mind.
I am 21 yrs old and for the past 10 or so months I have suffered from anxiety/panic attacks. I think my problem started after a stressful time, and out of the blue I had a panic attack whilst driving. I was then OK for a few months, but slowly my anxiety got to a point where I was having panic attacks every week, so I went to my doctor, who prescribed me Citalopram/Celexa/Cipramil.
Hello,
Did you manage to get rid of the extreme adrenaline sensitivity ?
Cos I come off of propranolol after over a year on it and I came off it too fast .
So about 6weeks later I took some supplements, turmeric in milk 3 times in one day about 3 teaspoons one in each ,and a lot of other supplements like vitamin c high dose ,magnesium . Zinc . And at near the end of that day my heart was going unbelievably fast I had to call ambulance.
I have been taking Inderal for 20 yrs, And have had for the last 10 days irregular heart beats. I do get panic attacks . And Im scared to death. I wake up shaky and sick to my stomach, I feel like Im going to die. I also have glaucoma and on eye meds. Pred Forte and Combigan. Im so happy I found this site.
