I've been using beta blockers for my anxiety, mainly because of heart palpitations. I'm thinking about stopping them, but I'm a bit anxious about the right way to do it safely. What's the best approach to taper off them without causing issues?

To safely come off beta blockers used for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations, it is important to gradually reduce the dosage under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Abruptly stopping beta blockers can lead to rebound symptoms and potential complications. Your doctor may recommend tapering the dose over a period of time, such as reducing the dose by 25% every week until you can safely discontinue the medication. One common beta blocker used for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations is Propranolol. The dosage and tapering schedule may vary depending on your individual circumstances, so it is important to follow your healthcare provider's guidance closely during this process.

I've been feeling breathless quite often and my gastroenterologist advised me to cut out salty, spicy, and oily foods from my diet and to take a PAN L tablet in the morning. It's been 10 days since I started this diet, but I'm still having the same symptoms. I'm worried if this might be a heart issue, though my echo and ECG came out fine three months ago. Could it be something to do with my lungs? I'm really anxious because sometimes I feel a heaviness on the left side of my chest, and at times my heart rate suddenly increases. My vitamin B12 levels are normal. I'm not sure if I should stick with this diet or consult someone else. Can you guide me on what to do?
plan you diet with dietician and drink warm water and stop junk

I've been watching this show on Hotstar called Human, and it got me thinking. They talk about a drug named S93R that's supposedly used for heart disease. I'm curious and a bit worrieddoes this drug actually exist, or is it something completely made up for the show? Could you let me know if there's any real information about S93R?
I don't know about a drug called S93R. It seems to be a fictional drug created for the purpose of the show "Human" on Hotstar.
