Hi,
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
I think you are taking amlodipine for controlling hypertension.It is a first line drug and there is no contraindication as per your history.
Now coming to propranalol,Your GP prescribed it to control your anxiety symptoms.Propranalol is very effective to control symptoms like tremors,palpitations which are quiet common in panic attacks.You can take both drus togather as there is no interaction is there.
I suggest you to consult a psychiatrist to treat panic attacks.You may require anti anxiety drugs like loraz and other treatment options like behavioural therapy for complete cure.
Hope this information helps.
regards.
