Propranolol for SN: luxury or potentiator?

[Notabadguy]

Stan's guide says that Propranolo is a luxury item that only helps with the fast rate of the heart, which donesn't cause pain. On the contrary, the PPH (at least the last edition) says that is a potentiator of the SN. What do you think?

Well

A luxury potentiator.

I'm actually doubting how well propranolol works against SN tachycardia. I feel like tachycardia would still occur? Not many case reports that indicate otherwise

It's mainly recommended for a more peaceful passing. The heart racing isn't painful, just kinda scary. Since this medication can be hard to obtain, Stan referred it to being a luxury. All in all, you don't need it.

i easily got it prescribed by asking to have no tremors in the hands
plus: i believe every beta-block should work
