I agree that if it was an allergic reaction to the Propanolol, you would think you would have had these symptoms prior to this?  It sounds like an allergic reaction of some kind.  Have you added anything else new to your regimen?  Any new cleaning/hygiene products?  Tried any new foods or new BRANDS of foods you're not normally exposed to?

I agree you need to talk to your doc about this.  Hopefully it will resolve for you.  It would be unfortunate if it did end up being related to the Inderal, since it seems to be helping you.

Let us know how you're doing okay?

It could be that.
And it also could be just anxiety. Whatever you do don't look up the side affects because you will swear you are getting them..
