I was prescribed propranolol 20 mg twice a day for insomnia. I was explained all the other things it does. Lowering the physical response to anxiety and such. Lowering heart rate. Lowering blood pressure. I understand its a beta blocker.
Shortly after I started I noticed how calm my heart was. (Usually have a resting heart rate of 90 or so) I checked my heart rate a few times over the course of the 4 days I took it and it was around an average of 60. Lowest it got was 56.
I wasn't too concerned yet because I had no signs of low oxygen levels and I was still very clear headed.
Well I stopped taking it a little over 48 hours ago because my issue is I am unbelievably groggy sleepy. Yesterday I slept 19 hours. I cannot nor do I want to sleep that much. Today I've only been awake for 2 hours after sleeping 10 hours and I could easily go back to sleep for most of the day and night too.
I just took my resting heart rate and it is 64. I think its low for an overweight pack and a half a day sedentary smoker.
I didn't really ask a question but any comments advice suggestions reassurance would be appreciated.
