A member asked:
Is it possible that reducing beta-blockers cause higher anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More Likely...: It's more likely that it causes symptoms that mimic anxiety. We call this rebound tachycardia and it feels like a rapid heart rate with a bit of a forcefulness to the heart beat. It's rarely associated with the true mental changes of anxiety...
