Thanks for the feedback. None are benzos. My roommate is in recovery - I refuse to even consider being placed on one until my living situation changes. I'm bipolar but not sure if the anxiety is tied to it or not. As far as symptoms go, I run the gamut. Racing heart is the worst one for me physically but I also get bad nausea that sometimes results in dry heaving. My thoughts race out of control and I can't slow them down. I have problems breathing properly. I shake, get weak, feel lightheaded. Pretty much everything that usually goes with anxiety and panic attacks. I'm going to give the propranolol a try. I'll have my doctor phone it in Monday.
