Sir I have been given a remedial in police force for high pulse rate. My doctor has advice me to take betablocker like propranolol to get normal pulse rate. Bt the problem is that after manual examination of pulse rate it is followed by a blood test to test whether the candidate has taken a betablocker. So you tell me please whether a single dose of betablocker can be detected in blood test? Though I am not a regular user of betablocker. Bt I hv to take this Medicine before my examination because due to anxiety my pulse rate increases.

A single dose of beta blocker may not be high enough to be discovered in blood test. You need to reduce the anxiety and then you will be able to act normally.

Hi lybrate-user, For anxiety you can undergo counseling and Psychotherapy from a Professional Psychologist without any medication. If you are interested you can contact me either through text chat or online consultation.
