Need to find cause: Unless you know the cause, it is not a good idea to be taking a beta blocker. It is better to treat the cause which can be number of reasons. You should see another physician and ask him/her to find the cause of fast heart rate(like overactive thyroid is one such cause) and then treat the cause(with a different medication). Beta blockers are a temporary solution(as they do not target the cause).
