> I don't have hypertension -- tend to very low BP -- but my pdoc used propranalol to treat my anxiety. Don't know if that information helps any, but it was a great med for me, while it lasted. Could be one med could hit on both cylinders?
In my case, just quieting the heart doesn't quiet the mind, so it may be the mind agitating the heart.
It may be that the cause of your anxiety was quieted by queiting the heart?
On other health forums I've seen people needing both an anti-hypertensive and an anti-anxiety agent, and believe that to be my situation.
