hello, I think if there is no contraindication (like certain heart conditions), you should go for betacap. It contain propanolol which is a widely used medicine for various disorder and considered as safe medicine. Not only it can reduce anxiety,but reduce your heart rate also. This medicine has some side effects like fatigue, nausea, altered lipid in the body, which can be manageable or if required, can be changed.
