Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Though more detailed history is needed but the symptoms like getting tensed when any task comes in hand or when you have to finish a task in a given time etc suggest some anxiety especially performance related anxiety. This anxiety is related to social anxiety. Ciplar LA or Propranolol can help to reduce the symptoms during events of anxiety but the drug is not a treatment of choice for such symptoms. Medicines like SSRIs especially Sertraline, Escitalopram etc are approved drugs for anxiety with similar presentation. These medicines when taken on regular basis help to reduce symptoms and will improve the occupational functioning.

Please don't ignore the symptoms and consider consulting a psychiatrist as soon as possible for re-evaluation.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
