...and didn't help my anxiety much. I mean my bp was 160 over 120 and my pulse was something like 88. Plus my concentration was ridiculous, I felt like I had dementia... so I went off it (haven't been rescheduled for a doc appointment, so, what choice did I have??) My sister wants me to try a beta blocker. I was on one in Febuary when I had chest pains and loved it. Why aren't beta blockers used more??
