No beta blocker: No, you need to address the roots of your anxiety. A beta blocker will not help and will give you side effects. I encourage you to seek therapy for anxiety. That is the root of your high heart rate.

Talk to your doctor: If you suffer from frequent bouts of anxiety you may benefit from other treatments. Beta blockers are more commonly used for the treatment of high blood pressure. They must be monitored as they can lower your blood pressure and your heart rate. Anxiety, like depression is regulated by chemicals in your brain (neurotransmitters) Besides, some symptoms may be due to other medical problems
