Hi Doc, My girlfriend was on a long term use (treating) with propranolol for heart palpitations because she has hyperthyroidism. She stopped during pregnancy. Symptoms are still here but sometimes worse at night. Sometimes even slight difficulty to breathe. Do you think she can start taking it again while breastfeeding?
