mance anxiety
"I've suffered w. stage fright (panic attacks) while public speaking for 15 years.  I finally got an rx for propranolol from my pcp and tried it before a recent presentation.  What a GOD SEND. I took 20 mg 1.5 hours prior to my presentation and although I did have some angst and chest tightness prior, once I started speaking the normal heart pounding out of my chest sensation/shortness of breath occasionally spiralling into a full blown panic attack just did not happen. I felt normal and that I could speak for hours. I feel I have my life back now and am excited for what this new confidence will do to my career.  I did not notice any side effects. I made sure to drink plenty of water and eat to avoid low blood pressure."
