Hello,
Normally beta blockers which you are currently taking, tend to decrease heart rate and when the dose is reduced then it excessively increase heart rate, which will settle after few days. Dose should be reduced slowly. Also, get once thyroid and hemoglobin tested. One ECG is needed and upload your ECG.
Hope I have answered you query. Reply if you have any doubts.
