POTS - postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

My GI recently prescribed propranolol for "butterfly" sensations in my stomach, along with clenching and tightening. He feels it's due to anxiety, I think it has more to do with omeprazole which I've been on for 3 years. Has anyone taken it and does it help with any strange feelings in the digestive tract? Thanks so much.

I have been told so many times that my symptoms are stress related, but I think there is more to it. In my case I have "spells" where I get tightening and distress in my stomach area, lower gastro distress and at the same time get dizzy and my BP gets very high. I was told by a Gastro Doc that the Gastro issues and dizziness and BP cannot be related...but they are related. I can go for months without this happening, and for no reason it will start again. It can last a few days or a few months. This has been going on for about 10 years. I will investigate propranolol and talk to my Doctor about it. thanks for all the good info.

Hi @jenn54 and welcome. As you will see, I have added your discussion to an ongoing discussion with similar symptoms and medications taken. While I am not suggesting that POTS is your diagnosis, there are many members in this discussion that can speak to the effectiveness of the medication propranolol. When did you start having the "butterfly" sensations in your stomach, along with clenching and tightening?
