Question: 
dear sir,   i am 36yrs old male  and got panic attack two times .my doctor advised me taking inderal 40mg.i started taking inderal but i reduced the  dose from 40 to 10mg.i was fine but my recent ECO shoes DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION and A/E RATIO 1.2:1 REDUCED LV COMPLIANCE,.I ONLY WANT TO KNOW THAT INDERAL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT OR THERE IS SOME PROBLEM IN MY HEART. THANKING YOU, PANKAJ

Hi pankaj,
Inderal is not responsible!

Read more about diastolic dysfunction here:

In older patients it is associated with hypertension, obesity and coronary artery disease:

At your age, I’d be concerned about high blood pressure and/or being over weight as the cause.
Since these lead to coronary artery disease, you should check your risk here:

If true, you are not to old to do something about it with diet & exercise.
Hope this helps,
Dr T
