I've been feeling my pulse all over my body, even when I touch my fingers, it's like I can feel it everywhere. Even when I'm lying down to sleep, I notice this pulsing in my head. On top of that, I keep having these sudden involuntary muscle jerks, they happen all over, including my head, hands, and legs, even when I'm trying to sleep. I have a lot of anxiety, and I end up worrying too much about my health. I often find myself searching online and getting even more anxious after reading things. Can you tell me if these symptoms might be related to anxiety, or is there something else I should be concerned about? I've already had an ECG done, and that came back normal.

I'm on anxiety meds and it's been a year now. Recently, I've started getting really bad panic attacks, and my doctor put me on ciplar la 40 and beta anxit 20 for 4 months. He said if my fear goes away and I start feeling weak, I should drop the dose to ciplar la 20. About a month into taking ciplar la 40, I started feeling weak and couldn't really walk, so I lowered the dose. But now, I don't feel that weakness anymore. The weird thing is, around medicine time, like when I take ciplar at 9 a.m., my body starts acting strange. My pulse is okay when I check it, but my head feels off. Once I take the meds, everything goes back to normal, but this happens every time I take my medicine. Is this normal? I'm really scared.
The symptoms you are describing could be related to the medication. Ciplar la 40 is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat anxiety and panic attacks. The sensation you are feeling in your head around the time you take the medication may be a side effect of the drug. Since you mentioned feeling weak and unable to walk when you were on the higher dose of ciplar la 40, it was appropriate for you to decrease the dose as per your doctor's instructions. If you are now feeling better with the lower dose of ciplar la 20, that is a positive sign. However, if you continue to experience unusual sensations or if you are concerned about any symptoms, it is important to discuss this with your doctor. They may be able to provide further guidance or adjust your medication regimen if needed.

I'm dealing with social anxiety disorder and I'm curious about how using propranolol randomly might affect my health. If I take it for a few days and then take a break for a few days, could that be a problem?
"Hello, for social anxiety disorder, propranolol can be used on an as-needed basis before social situations to help with symptoms. It is generally safe to use daily or randomly as needed. The usual dosage for propranolol in this case is 10-40mg taken 30-60 minutes before a stressful event. It is important to consult with your doctor for the proper dosage and usage instructions based on your individual needs."
