MJ - I was given this drug when I was having severe problems due to Grave's disease (overactive thyroid). My blood pressure was a little high but my heart was racing and I was shaking like crazy. Together with anti-thyroid meds, conditions began to improve almost immediately. Took a while, but got back to normal.

Thank you for any help you can give me. M.J. in Al.

I was prescribed this medication due to a nerve disorder around my rt eye. It constantly looked like I was winking at everyone. After MRI's/MRA's and various blood work, my physician determined I had some kind of migraine headaches that only produce this side effect. If my eye starts closing thats my clue that I am about to get a migraine. Without propranolol HCL I get a full blown migraine. Light ... Show Full Comment
