How Can Palpitations Be Treated?
hi - I was taking propranolol hcl er for heart palpitations and facial flushing It worked very well but became very expensive. My doctor has substituted atenolol for it but I don t think it works as well to control the palpitations. What do you recommend? Would propranolol hcl (not er) work as well? Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would advise to go for generic preparation for Propranolol if the drug suits you best, else the basic function of both the molecules (Propranolol and Atenolol are the same ) it is just the mental condition plays the role and it is much common condition seen in patient.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
