Hey, I went to the doctor and got tested for heart palpitations, but everything came back normal. I'm supposed to go back in January, but today I experienced heart palpitations for about 40 minutes, and my heart rate was at 130. I felt really hot and a bit faint. I'm on my period, been feeling super stressed, and my eating habits haven't been great these past few weeks. Is this something normal because of all that, or should I be worried?

I've been taking propranolol 10mg for my anxiety whenever needed, and it's been a big help. But lately, I've had to take it every day for about a week, and now I'm experiencing this sharp, stabbing pain in the center of my chest that goes to my back. I'm not sure if it's just anxiety or something more serious. I'm a healthy 26-year-old guy, and my resting heart rate is between 52 and 56 bpm, but sometimes it drops into the 40s. I do have a history of gastroparesis. Do you think this chest pain could be an issue related to the medication or something else going on?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to the propranolol medication. Chest pain is a known side effect of propranolol, especially in individuals with a history of heart conditions. Given your symptoms and medical history, it is important to consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible to evaluate the chest pain and determine the appropriate course of action. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid sudden discontinuation of propranolol as it can lead to withdrawal symptoms. If the chest pain is severe or persistent, seek immediate medical attention.
