> Hugh, thank you. This was very good.
You're welcome. Propranolol is one of the beta-blockers I've tried for palpitations. I find atenolol quite a bit more effective for this purpose, but on one occasion, propranolol was very helpful. Over ten years ago, someone put me on the spot if front of a large group of people. I was caught off guard, and was tongue-tied. A woman I liked witnessed this incident, so I felt even more humiliated than I normally would have. This is the sort of thing I can ruminate about obsessively for weeks or months. But I had propranolol with me this time. I'd seen the 60 Minutes report about it, so I decided to see if it could help with my traumatic memory. It did. My ruminations about it faded away when the propranolol took effect, and I barely thought about it after that.
