Cardio give me metoprolol for palps and to slow down my hr, from stress. gp said he preffe propanol bcuz it would help with my anxiety more, oppinons?

Beta blockers: Both are often effective in treatment of palpitations caused by atrial and ventricular irritability, but metoprolol is more cadioselective. Propranolol is the oldest beta blocker,is not as cardioselective and thus has more side effects,is not used much as an antiarrhythmic anymore. Propranonol has been used to treat anxiety and tremulousness however.

I tried 25mg Metoprolol Extended Release and experienced difficulty taking deep breaths. My cardiologist gave it for palpitations but it actually made them worse, and I was also not able to sleep (nightmares) and had more anxiety. Am I asthmatic?
I went to the ER yesterday morning with what appeared to be very extreme anxiety with an elevated heart rate of upwards 180 at times. Was giving metoprolol to slow it down. I have propranolol at home, can I take that instead if it happens again?
3 years ago, I started getting heart palpitations when I sleep. There's no fear, stress or anxiety. Just neutral. The palpitations only happen when I'm unconscious. When I wake up it slows back down. I don't even have to move. What is going on?
GP, Cardio, EP & numerous ER drs have all said I should take a SSRI for my anxiety from heart palps, My therapist doesn't think I should, what to do?
