What Causes Pressure In Chest While On Beta Blockers?

I was diagnosed with svt 2 weeks ago, taking beta blockers daily. I keep getting chest pressure & nothing gets rid of it it just eases off eventually. I only had a few episodes beforw the diagnosis but since then I feel terrible. Is the chest pressure normal? Saw my GP today but she couldn t answer any questions.

do you any other symptoms beyond chest pressure, like sweating, palpation, radiation of pain to any other part of the chest, whether this is increased on exertion, or doing regular activities. if so kindly meet cardiologist for further work up.
if you don't have these symptoms which mentioned above, then the possibilities could a muscular pain which is called costochondritis, or it could be reflux oesophagitis.
