Propranolol - Does it stop dizziness from anxiety?

Hi Laura,

I believe anxiety can make you feel light-headed, but if you are feeling that dizzy it could be something else. I have generalized anxiety and occasionally panic attacks, but I also have silent migraines, aka migraine associated vertigo. I basically feel like I'm on a boat 24/7, but don't get any headaches. Anxiety definitely makes it worse and is a huge trigger for me. If I were you I would see your doctor and ask for a recommendation for either a neurologist or an ENT (Ear, nose and throat). I went to an ENT and she diagnosed me with MAV and I was given nortriptyline 25 mg. It helped a lot. There are hundreds of medications out there for MAV. You just have to trial and error and not give up. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

It should in theory. Propranolol calms down the adrenaline in your heart that causes the physical symptoms of anxiety

Hi Laura-
Propranolol works well for some. You can try it and see if it helps. It is suppose to help with the physical symptoms of anxiety/panic.
Hope you find some relief soon.
