Propranolol

Propranolol is a medication that belongs to a class called beta-blockers. It works by blocking certain signals in your nervous system, which helps to reduce your heart rate and blood pressure. This makes it useful for treating conditions like high blood pressure, migraines, and anxiety related to physical symptoms. By calming the body's "fight-or-flight" response, propranolol can alleviate symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, trembling, and shaking. It’s typically taken as a tablet and prescribed by a doctor, who will determine the appropriate dose based on your specific condition.
