A member asked:
Are beta blockers effective for controlling blood pressure during anxiety episodes, my bp spikes to 160/100 when anxious? are certain beta blockers better for people with anxiety disorders (calming effect)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only way to tell is to try different ones. I mostly use propranolol. Some folks are slow metabolizers of BB especially Chinese. You did not mention your ethnicity. You cannot give us too much information.
