I was on propanolol and codamol two weeks ago for treatment of sore throat and hoarse voice.  i had t o discontinue because i was feeling funny with headaches,pumping heart pain in lower chest and dizziness and faintness.  So i discontinued and was ok for some time unless if i got hungry.  Now i have pressure in the head and upper throat ans if i have got flu and tightness in the collarbone on my left side . what could be causing this

Propanolol is given for a variety of reasons to include anxiety, tremors, migraines, high BP, angina and others. It can cause some odd feelings when first starting it. I don't understand this being prescribed to you for your symptoms.  The Codamol is a pain reliever, but it soundsa like you needed an antibiotic.  I doubt that you would be feeling any effects after two weeks from these two drugs but we never know. You can call your doctor or your pharmacist (any pharmacist) and ask if this is a result of the two drugs.  But also see a doctor, not the same one he appears incompetent.  I think if it were withdrawal you could not have gone two weeks feeling fine, and I can see the propanaolo making you feel funny, but once you stop taking it after the short time you were on it, it's out of your system.  Don't panic, I think you're okay, but you need to find out what is causing your current symptoms. Take care...

Why on earth were you on a beta-blocker (Heart medicine, Propranolol) for a sore throat? Someone made a mistake.. I would seek help Immediately. Though 2 weeks of propranolol wouldn't hurt you I would say you could probably have Incurred a bad side effect from the Propranolol.
