mance anxiety
"I'm a male medical student in the final months of my training. I've always found it dreadful doing presentations before a professional (other medics) audience even if it is something like 7 people. I found it impossible - I go into full blown panic attack 15 seconds in (crying, voice trembling, heart pounding so much that people have said they can hear it from outside). I had a very important presentation recently and I took 40 mg 1.5 hours before and I was EXTREMELY calm. I felt so calm, I felt like I was sitting at home watching a movie while I was on stage! My "excited" heart rate without propranolol is 120+ but on propranolol it was 84 maximum. Just use this med under Doctors guidance. Use the lowest working dose. Try it before the event to see how you react to it"
