About 2 years ago, I took expired propranolol (20mg) per day for about two and a half months. I didn't know the medication was expired which I took for heart palpitations. I realized something was wrong when I started getting cramps and more than usual bowel movements. These symptoms went away after I discontinued the expired propranolol. I have noticed though that since then, things that I used to take like tylenol or a brand of pickled peppers that I used to enjoy now cause me discomfort and cramping. I did not have these symptoms before I took the expired propranolol. I went to my doctor after taking the expired propranolol, and he told me to get new propranolol and that it shouldn't cause any permanent side affects. Is there anything to worry about?

Hello Mike
As we getting older our stomach gets more and more sensitive. I used to live on pizza and coke when I was in my twenties but now if I eat pizza I can’t sleep all night long so I think that your cramps aren’t consequence of taking expired medication.
As a mater in fact maybe you have sensitive stomach and you need to adjust your diet. If you see that spiced and peppery foods are giving you cramps and make you sick you should start to avoid them. It is a lea that we don’t know what is bad for us. We are all aware what type of food we should avoid but we always think that it will be fine. It is fine when you are consuming certain type of foods which are bad for your stomach from time to time but constantly is bad and it will result in cramps and sometimes even worse.
