What is a good beta blocker to take for anxiety to stop heart palpitations?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most of them...: Please see my responses to your other questions. The problem is not the palpitations, but what is causing them. Any beta blocker will do, atenolol, metoprolol, etc., but Pindolol will not do as much for sinus tachycardia.

Almost any: There are many older, cheaper, effective beta blockers that will work for both problems: atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol. The newer, brand-name meds like bystolic (nebivolol) are "selective" regarding beta-1 and beta-2 receptors, and so may not be as effective as the older, tried, and true meds.
