Hello, I’ve been struggling with pretty severe anxiety since 2019. I had to drop out of law school after 1 semester because of it and suffered through most of 2020. 2021 was a much better year for me, the second half of the year it actually felt like I was a normal person again and my anxiety was gone. Because of this I decided to go back to school to get my MPA instead after realizing I didn’t want a high pressure job in law. I am doing it part-time, online with a full time job. But my job isn’t super demanding so I thought I could easily handle this. I started school in early January and since then I’ve been having constant chest tightness. It shifts between my left side to the middle, occasionally feels like it’s in my lungs (like a respiratory illness), and of course there’s also so much tension in my back and shoulders. I do NOT want to be on a daily SSRI, I’ve tried 2 and hated how they made me felt. I don’t want to gamble with them. However, I am wondering if propranolol can help with chest tightness. I know it’s for lowering blood pressure and heart rate, but would it help with the tightness? Going to see my doctor soon and I’m curious if I should ask about it.
