Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: I (27F, 65in, 125lbs) was recently prescribed propranolol (20mg twice a day) for migraine prophylaxis. As I was reading through the information, I saw that multiple occurrences of past bronchitis are a significant contraindication. I have had pneumonia several times, and am not sure about bronchitis because the several pneumonia cases I had, I put off going to the doctor until I had to go to urgent care (less than ideal, I know. poverty can really be a bitch.) The last time I had pneumonia I ended up with cracked ribs from coughing so hard.Is it safe for me to be taking propranolol, and are there early warning signs I can look out for if my respiratory system is being negatively impacted? Would I develop a cough?I would call the prescribing PA but not only was it the first time I had an appointment with them, it was also their last week at that job, and they also were a little bit dismissive when i asked if there could be any interactions with my psychiatric medications (bupropion xl 300mg & concerta xr 27mg.)Thanks for your help!. ### Response: Previous infections shouldn't affect you today, I wouldn't worry about it too much but yes you are correct, they would be signs. The main sign would be an asthmatic sensation, in which case you should not take any more propranolol and seek help.It's very hard to give good medical advice you seem to have shared lots of pertinent information, I can only suppose, but I suppose there's no problem taking this beta blocker at this moment..
